Curious about "How" I make the beads and jewelry?

I use magazine/catalog paper that was set to be recycled and re-purpose it by creating colorful beads. The beads are all different and unique to the paper that was used to create them. I use a water based adhesive to seal the beads. Although the beads can tolerate some minor contact with water, they are made of paper and I do not recommend that they get exposed to water.

I then use unique metal beads and beautiful crystal/glass beads to compliment the paper beads. I create jewelry and gifts by blending the two together in unique designs to give you a "one of a kind" piece. For all of those who do recycle, the remaining paper from the magazines is then sent to be recycled.
