Make Your Own Paper Beads

From Sherri Osborn, former About.com Guide

Now you need to trace your triangle onto the paper you will be using to make your beads. You need one triangle for each bead you will make.

While your best bet is to use the heavier, shiny paper used in pages of magazines, catalogs, and even some junk mail, you can use whatever colorful paper you want. You should trace the triangle on what will be the wrong side of the paper (the side that will face inside the bead).

Cut out your triangles.
