Paper Bead Necklace Craft

Making paper beads from old magazines is a great birthday party craft for girls. 

These fun paper beads are made from rolling up triangle pieces of old magazines and then stringing them together to make a necklace.  They are a great craft for birthday parties and a fun way to recycle. 
 
Supplies:
Old magazines with colorful pages, glue, needle, thread or string.

		Instructions: Tear out colorful pages from old magazines.  Cut out a long triangle shape from heavy cardstock for a template so the beads will be uniform in shape. Place the template on the magazine - make sure the point of the triangle is over a colorful region of the magazine - trace and cut out.  Starting at the wide end of the triangle tightly roll it towards the point.  Place a drop of glue on the backside of the point and glue to the rolled up bead.
		When the beads have been made use a needle and thread to string them together to make a necklace or bracelet.  Experiment with different shapes of triangles for fun results.
