Those look like tiny little fired pottery pieces!!! 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😲😲😲❤️❤️❤️❤️

Isn't it cool how one thing can remind you of something different I would have never though of. But they sure do🤩

Would never have thought to use embossing powder to seal them. Genius!!

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖

[@patriciamann3465]

I love this idea, I've done paper beads before but not with eyelets. You've inspired me again. Got my granddaughters tomorrow for the day, we are so doing this to make for their mothers day gift, necklace, braclet and earring. Thank you for sharing

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

oh that's such a cool idea and will make a perfect gift, have a wonderful time "beading" with your granddaughters💕

[@shellyp8731]

These are amazing! I love how the clear embossing powder takes them to the next level...that glossy finish just makes them more elegant. They are the perfect finishing touch on your journals. I hope I’m brave enough to try! 🌸

Quite brilliant! I bought some beautiful paper beads like this from an African market, when we invited a children's choir to our church. I would never have imagined how they were made!! The embossing powder is genius! So glossy. 😃 So eager to see what you do with them 👍 Thanks. And you made it look so easy.

Cool, I like the sound of them too, they are almost like glass beads💕

[@audreygullas8728]

I so love your beads !! Iam going to get me some embossing powders and I'm gonna sure give it a try. Such a great idea to put plain white paper underneath so you can have a nice chunky bead without using your colored paper. Fantastic, thank you so much for sharing all of this.❤❤😊

Great short-to-the-point video! I bet a person could make their own decorative paper using tissue paper, or home-made rice paper? Paint on it anyway they'd like, etc. I bet any clear coat varnish, Mod Podge, glitter Mod Podge, or hard coat Mod Podge, would work. I'm thinking this technique would work for handles on serving trays--just on a bigger scale.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖 absolutely, DIY papers will be fun, the coat of embossing powder is a bit more Fancy and will make the beads smoother though. But your suggestions will give them a nice finish for sure as will the ones I show in the Spacer Beads video: czcams.com/video/BGAOUF4YlDM/video.html And i love the way you think BIG, so cool😱

That's a lot of work for each single bead!!!

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

everything handmade is a lot of work😉

[@knittingnirvana]

@@GerrysCraftRoom I've been making jewelry for 30 years, plus tons of hobbies and languages I taught myself, so I know that, my remark was NOT out of some laziness, but the fact that, if you want to make a necklace and you spend about half an hour making each single bead, it IS TIME CONSUMING! In those hours, I'd make ten times more (at least) with cold porcelain or Fimo.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

@@knittingnirvana I would never call someone lazy for anything because that is not how I am. For everything handmade there are always multiple options to go about it, my channel is a paper crafting channel so it makes total sense I show things made with paper. Also paper is very easy to come by for most people and it is more accessible, it doesn't take much practice either. That's why the paper beads and loads of people seem to like it. If you prefer to make them in another way, have loads of fun doing just that!

@@GerrysCraftRoom have just downloaded your cheat sheet and had a go. The problem I'm having is that the core sticks out a bit so i tried making it ever so slightly narrower and that helped. Also, I've had to switch from my bead roller to my best 5mm knitting needle because I couldn't get my eyelets to fit otherwise. What am i doing wrong?

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

@@dianadevlin3717 I make my “bead roller” on a skewer with tape to make it fit to the eyelet, with the inside white paper for the core just measure with the eyelet to get the perfect size and cut off a bit if needed, with the piece you cut off you’ll know the exact length for your eyelet, hope this helps💕
