Making Paper Beads

Ive always loved paper bead craft and now to save time with cutting out I can use my Cricut and SCAL.
see some fabulous beads here http://www.flickr.com/photos/30852523@N ... 251648446/

I use a wooden kebab stick to wind my beads on but you can use a straw and then cut the straw even to the bead so the straw part stays inside.

I hope some of you will find the scut files useful.

Theres plenty of websites with examples and how to make them. Im waiting for my embossing heat gun to try embossing on the beads.

Cheers

Thank you for sharing. I've made these beads before, but I'm not very good at measuring, so they were all odd sizes, so your SCUT file will really help. I love the pictures on your website, and also your top tips on using embossing powers to glaze the beads, such a great idea! Thanks again!
