Process Used To Make Paper Beads With Paper Bead Roller

By Jessica Barnes


Creativity cannot be tamed and the use of Bead Roller to make wrapper beads is a living proof to this factor. The do it yourself techniques known to many as DIY emerged years ago but have come to a lot of peoples attention in the recent years all thanks to the sudden boom in the use of social media which created open platforms to share and learn on various DIYs. The article below describes more on Paper bead roller.

This is a craft that does not require one to have a particular book acquired skill but does require mostly a good eye, a creative open mind and raw talent for perfect execution. To venture into this practice one can use an already manufactured bead roller or they can also apply DIY and create their own pill roller into their style of preference.

The first step is the easiest and the most vital to the entire process as it is where you decide what shape, size and thickness your beads will have to lead to the final question of what do you want your jewellery to look like. So here the papers are cut and trimmed while keeping all these in mind and bringing to life your vision.

After you have reached your desired shape and have cut and trimmed all the papers well and as per your imagination, ensure that the wide end takes the first lead and carefully slide it into the slotted side of the pellet roller. While doing these, ensure that there are no hanging sides to avoid any uneven or unnecessary hanging ends that will only add you more work.

As you continue rolling ensure that you have a tight hold on both the pill roller and on the paper being rolled. Do not loosen the grip until you are almost at the end and here you can loosen it and adjust the shape of your beads while getting rid of any hanging ends if there are any. Do not force any ends to meat as these causes tear.

While the wrapper has now acquired the shape you had envisioned, it is now the time to close it and move on to the next bead and here is when the wrapper glue is applied. Avoid the mistake of applying too much glue on the wrapper and leaving a bumpy and very hard to dry layer that can ruin your entire work.

At this stage the work is almost all done as the final stages will mainly involve reaching a fine end product and developing a pleasing and presentable final product. Finishing takes up most of the time as it is here the glue has to be well leveled and all ends should be fine. It is advised to apply a final thin layer on the bead for durability.

When you have done all these and now have your final beads product, style them accordingly and produce the jewels of your desire. You can even colour the beads or leave them at their natural state. It all depends on your preferences.
