10 Reasons we love paper beads
In case you need a reason to try this at home, I’ve put together 10 of them:
- Almost anything you can do with regular beads, you can do with these!
- You’ll never be without beads again…because you can make your own.
- So so so good for exercising those fine motor muscles.
- Customize your jewelry by making beads in any color and pattern.
- Use different shapes of paper strips to make different shaped beads.
- They are inexpensive.
- But they LOOK impressive (like real beads).
- They are relaxing to make once you get into a rhythm.
- If you don’t want to cut your own paper strips you can buy them pre-cut!
- It’s something you do as a family.
