I STILL get a phone book every 6 months and when I see it on my doorstep, it's like being zapped back in time! Still, I immediately grab it because I love making stuff with the thin, translucent paper! These paper beads could easily be made with newspaper, too, but a phone book just seemed so much fun and I had one on hand. By using several coats of paint, starting with black, you can get an amazing raw turquoise look. Add a little Triple Thick Gloss Glaze from DecoArt and you'll have a strand of beads worthy of a chic gallery opening! Like I always say, use what you have
and always Make Your Mark!
and always Make Your Mark!
I'm moving to Florida so I can wear these with a huge caftan!
Paint them any color...add gold flakes!
