GOING GREEN!For Art’s Sake!
- Choose some pages of the magazine that are
printed with colours you like, and cut them out. - Cutthepageshorizontallyintostrips
approximately 1.5 centimetres wide. You will
need at least eight strips to make a bracelet,

have long thin triangles.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
GETTING STARTED
- Tightly roll the rest of the paper strip around the
toothpick. The glue on the inside will hold the
bead in place. - When you reach the end, you now have a paper
bead! Slip it of f the toothpick. The opening made
by the toothpick will be the hole for the string. - Repeat with the rest of the paper strips.
- You can also laminate your paper beads so that
they will last longer, just apply one coat of clear
nail varnish to each bead, taking care not to
paint over the hole. - Once the varnish has dried, string the beads.
Depending on how many you make, you will
have enough for a necklace, or a bracelet, or
even a matching set! - Take a toothpick and one of the diagonally-cut
magazine strips. Roll the wide end of the strip
once round it. - Place the strip of paper on the table in front of
you with the toothpick closest to you, and the
inner side of the paper facing upwards. - Cover the inside of the strip of paper with glue.
