Hi! My name is Anni and this week we are doing a lot of activities in my classroom at school.
One of my favorite ones has been making paper beads. This is how I made my own beads at home…
You’ll need…
Mod Podge Glue, Magazines, Straws, Brush and Scissors.
First, cut colorful paper in a long triangle shape from any magazine you have.
Second, add glue to the inside of the paper and roll it around the straw starting with the widest end to the point of the triangle.
After the triangle is rolled paint the outside of the bead with some more glue. Make as many beads as you want just make sure they don’t touch each other on the straw.
Let it dry and then cut them
as wide as you would like them to be.
I made a little bracelet with mine.
Here it is!
I hope you love it
and have fun making your own beads.

I {Desiree} think it was so cute of her to ask me to feature her on my blog. She did the entire project by herself while I took the pictures…You go girl!
These beads are ADORABLE and so is she!
Here are some other Kid Craft Ideas that we love!
Saw the project on pinterest and was led here for the great tutorial! What’s even more fun for us is that Anni is my daughter’s name too! Fun!
Really?
How do you spell it?
By the way WELCOME to The 36th AVENUE!
It’s spelled exactly the same way, lol. Actually, it’s my daughter’s nickname. When she was a baby, we had a toddler friend who couldn’t pronounce her full name A-n-n-e-l-i and so it came out Anni. It has stuck ever since. 🙂 Is your Anni’s name her full name or is it short for something else too?
It is her full name. We love it and she does too.
Thank you for visiting with me!
Really clever! Great job! Visiting from the CSI Project!
Ahhh and this one too! I love the idea of making your own paper beads! 🙂
That is so cool! I will do this with my girlie in summer when there is no school and I have to entertain her 😉
aw they are so cute! what a fun project 🙂
