Recycled Flat Bead Tutorial

Hello beautiful! Yes I have a new tutorial for you, so grab you recycling and let's go! Here's what we're making:


They're very easy, a little time consuming depending on what design difficulty you go for but I'll talk more about that in the video. Gorgeous aren't they? Soon as I have time I'll be making a whole stash of these. 


Here's the video - let me know what you think about this one and please feel free to share any pics of your own beads on my facebook page, I'd love to see them =)


Much love

  4. This was a bit odd! Just today, I thought I would sit down and do a few little things of cardboard to hang on my Journals, and then shows you this amazing idea! Thanks for that, now I will not have to experiment yourself. :)

    I love your work. You are so clever! I cannot throw anything away, so this will be perfect for me to use up some of my saved packaging ;D I was also thinking about rolling the edges with glitter to hide the layer edges if you wanted to. Really enjoyed this. Thanks so much!

  12. Love these! I have a pretty patterned chocolate bar wrapper I've been trying to decide what to do with and I think some flat beads are in order! No reason the top layer has to be cardboard! :-)

  16. I found your super inspirational and helpful video first and came here hoping to find out what punches you used. The only ones I found so far are very limited shapes.
