Step 3ROLL AND GLUE
-Organize a work space with the 8 diagonal paper strips, several toothpicks, a glue stick and some clear nail polish.
-Take a toothpick and one paper strip. Roll the WIDE end of the paper strip completely around the toothpick ONE rotation. Next, take the glue stick and quickly cover the remaining paper surface with glue. I usually quickly run the glue stick over the paper twice. You may need to wipe any excess glue from your hands if they get too sticky!
-Now it is time to completely and TIGHTLY roll the paper stip around the toothpick. Smooth the tip/end of the paper strip in place. Next, slip the paper "BEAD" off the toothpick. It should slide off easily since 'the glue was not applied to the section of the paper that directly touches the toothpick.
Note: This opening made by the toothpick will provide the space to string your beads onto the bracelet cord.
Just make a little stack of completed beads...the glue will set up while you coil the remaining paper beads.
