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!!!
