Magazine Beaded Jewelry

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the jumbled instructions/pictures for Project One below! Project Two will have a better visual layout and hopefully easier to read! I hope you enjoy making the beads - I know I did...I'm wearing my necklaces the first week of school next year! Hope your summer is going great so far! Loads of love, Ms. Kirby

Magazine Beaded Jewelry

Step 1 Gather old magazines. Draw different size triangles onto the pages. I used a black marker but you can use a pencil or crayon. Step 2 Use scissors to cut out the triangles.

You should have various size triangles, so that you can make

different size beads.

Step 3 Wrap the triangles around a pencil. Start wrapping at the widest part of the triangle. (Most of the time, the bottom.)

Step 4 After wrapping around the pencil, place a dot of glue on the tip of the triangle.

Press and hold the glued tip. Count to 20. (Your fingers will get a bit sticky during this part!)

Slide the wrapped triangles off of the pencil so they can dry.

Make a lot of beads!

Step 5 Cut a piece of string or yarn. (Dental floss works great too!) Remember to cut the string the right size - so it will fit

over your head as a necklace (or around your wrist as a bracelet).

Step 6 String the beads onto the yarn.

Tie a knot and wear with pride!!!
