PAPER BEADS
If you roll up strips of paper .between your fingers on a knitting
needle as shown in Fig. 1, you can fciake both, large and small beads,
The size and shape of the bead depends on the width and length of the strip of paper. A bead like the one shown in Fig. 2 is formed by rolling up a strip cut to the shape in Fig. 3 and stuck at the end with paste. In each figure the shape is varied to give a differently shaped bead. The example in Fig. 6 is made from the strip in Fig. 7. For a bead curtain it is a good idea to use a sample book of wallpaper, but plain paper can be used most effectively if the beads are dipped in cellulose enamel to give them a hard shiny surface. You can produce a shiny surface ah" by painting them with a weah glue made from gum Stable,
