Paper Bead Marking Template (Printable PDF)
A reliable, craft‑tested tool for bead makers who work with any kind of paper — from scrapbook sheets to wallpaper scraps.
I first created these marking templates in 2014 after years of frustration trying to make consistent bead strips from gift wrap, wallpaper, and odd‑sized papers. In April 2025, I updated and refined the entire set to improve clarity, accuracy, and usability. These templates have been part of my bead‑making system for over a decade, and they remain one of the most versatile tools for working with non‑standard papers.
What’s Included
A single, merged PDF containing 10 different marking templates, covering a full range of strip widths and bead styles. Print them once, laminate them, or slip them into page protectors — they’re designed to last.
Why These Templates Matter
- Work with any paper size - Perfect for scrapbook paper, gift wrap, wallpaper, magazines, and recycled paper - No printer required for your bead paper - Create consistent, repeatable bead strips every time - Ideal for makers who prefer hands‑on cutting and measuring - A great companion to Sheetworks Studio for non‑Letter‑size papers
Why They’re Digital Only
I used to sell laminated sets and 3D‑printed rulers, but rising material costs, shipping fees, and production time made physical versions unsustainable. The printable version gives you the same functionality without the overhead — and you can print replacements anytime.How to Use
- - Print the templates on regular paper or cardstock
- - Laminate them or place them in page protectors
- - Lay them over your chosen paper
- - Mark the strip lines
- - Cut and roll your beads with confidence
Price
$10 reflects the value of a complete, organized, ready‑to‑use system — not just “five sheets of lines.” These templates are the result of years of bead‑making experience and refinement, and they remain one of the most versatile tools for working with non‑standard papers.
