Step 2CUT THE MAGAZINE PAGE INTO STRIPS
-Tear or cut the page from the magazine (calendar, brochure, wrapping paper, etc.) that you have selected.
-Using a paper cutter (pictured) or an utility knife, begin cutting the page into strips. Starting at either the bottom or the top of the page, cut the page into 1/2" strips. (The strips I typically use are approx. 1/2" by ~7-8" long.) You may cut the entire page into strips or cut at least four for the bracelet.
-Next, cut each strip in half on the diagonal. To make one mixed bead bracelet, I typically use 8 diagnonally cut "triangle" shaped pieces of paper.

Try using a ruler to steady the knife. That way it is more steady.
