You need to make 20 to 30 paper beads. You will also need some round plastic or wooden beads for this project as well.

Use a large leather craft needle and start at the widest end of the strip to roll tightly onto it. You need to smear some glue on the strip before rolling it round the needle. Glue the end bit of the strip with a bit more adhesive. Now pull the needle out and you should have an olive shaped paper bead. Carry on to roll the the rest of the strips in the same way.

Follow the threading pattern above to thread the beads together. You can make a longer unit as a choker and a shorter unit as a bracelet.
