The oval paper beads are 1/4" x 8.5" triangles cut out of copy paper and then I start rolling the wide end with a little glue around the toothpick, adding glue every so often so they're nice and firm when they dry. The cylindrical beads are just 1/4" x 8.5" (not a triangle). I can't remember where I saw this technique. The size of the beads were trial and error. The first few were HUGE and ugly! 1 Quote Link to comment
Libby 153 Posted September 27, 2016 How creative. I'm thinking I could use real seed bead and glue on the toothpicks and paint when done. Never thought about that. They look awesome. Can't wait to see the finished house. Quote Link to comment
