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!
Non Stick ToothpicksIf you like to brush your glaze on your paper beads but your beads get stuck to your toothpick or what ever you are using to hold your beads while brushing on the glaze, try applying chapstick or vaseline jelly on your picks before sticking your bead on the end. When your beads are dry, your beads will slide right off. I do this when I coat my paper beads with 2 part epoxy resin. Really works well!
