Description:
For this swap you will be making making paper beads! This is a newbie friendly swap. If you do not know how to make paper beads then do a simple Google search or check out these simple instructions: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Paper-Beads For this swap you will have 2 partners. You will send 15 handmade paper beads to each for a total of 30 beads. I am not putting any restrictions on the beads except that they have to be made out of paper. There is no size requirement for the beads either but please leave the center hole big enough to fit a string through! Start making your beads now and be ready send! :) Happy swapping. *The picture is some beads that I made.

I wasn't sure if 50 beads was too much. If you guys/gals want me to lower it just let me know! Share your ideas, thanks.

It does seem like a lot to do in ten days. You could reduce the number maybe, or lengthen the time between sign up and send. Other people may have a lot of beads already made, though. I'll wait to see what happens.

Would love to do this, but I'm wondering if 10 or 15 might be easier, especially for newbies?

For each partner, I mean...!

Paper beads can also be dipped in UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel), or rolled on an embossing pad or clear pigment ink stamp pad, dusted with embossing powder and embossed with a heat gun for thick glossy finish, or the addition of some sparkle.

Okay I lowered the amount of beads you need to make, I hope that is easier on people.

Thank you @ twobluecrows for posting the active link!

I've been meaning to try making some of these and they look super easy. Maybe I'll join and it will give me a kick. I have some really pretty paper. :)

I started when I got home from work and I already have enough for one person. I think I'll end up sending more than needed, but I don't think it will be a problem ;)

We need partners! Or will this be canceled?

SamBuck 06/ 8/2010 #

I am sorry I didn't assign partners right away, My mother has been in and out of the hospital for the past few days and I have been very distracted. Partners are now assigned! Start swapping!!!

I am so sorry to hear that. I hope that she gets better!

LuckyXIII 06/ 8/2010 #

I hope she gets better also. @}-------

Thank you! She seems better for the time being, but we'll see how it goes.
