Please note: I am now selling all of my paper bead making tools and other items from this web site using Paypal payments.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon. My Kindle crochet pattern books and paper template paperback books continue to be available on Amazon, as they are printed and fulfilled directly by Amazon. A limited number of paper bead making tools remain available on Etsy but I am not linking to those tools from this site.

Random Quick Tip!

Keep Holiday Lights Safe
When packing away holiday lights, put them into empty tubes from gift wrap cut into the same size length as you need to make them fit into a box you will use to store the lights in, then carefully wind up the lights as you would an extension cord and put them inside the tube to protect them. They fit nicely inside the box this way and they should be in good working condition when you take them out next year.
