Bead Necklace for Mommy

Don't throw away those old magazines and shopping catalogs just yet! You can make pretty beads out of the most colorful pages. Mom (or anyone else) will love these.

What You’ll Need

Old magazines or shopping catalogs
Scissors
Glue
String

Instructions

1. Cut triangles out of the colorful pages of old magazines or catalogs, approximately 1 inch x 3 inches x 3.5 inches.
2. Spread glue all over the back of the triangle.
3. Roll the triangle around itself starting from the long end. Secure the tip with more glue.
4. Let beads (rolled triangles) completely dry.
5. Thread string through the beads and tie the ends together to keep the beads from slipping out.

You can also do this to create bracelets and other "beaded" jewelry. Makes for a great craft when you can't go outside on a rainy day too, because you can make tons of them without a huge mess.
