It is a great way to spend some time on a Saturday (after cross-country skiing with friends), or on a weeknight when you are finished with your homework and looking for something to do.
I first learned to make these paper cut products after I saw a student with a fabulous necklace made from various shapes, colors, and sizes of these paper beads.
If you want to learn how to make paper beads, just grab some scissors, glue, a toothpick and watch this video on how to make them.
Good luck with your efforts and have fun making these treasures for yourself, your family, and of course your friends.
