There are many ways to decorate your Paper Tube beads before
rolling them . But first I will go thru some points you should know about where
and what parts of your paper strips need
to be decorated .
Here is my paper bead
display showing samples of all the paper tube beads I like to use. As you can
see there are many different sizes and I think about this when designing my
paper tube beads. It also helps me when designing a set of paper tube beads
that I want to work together. Deciding on how they will be colored to work with
each other, and what sizes I will need to complete the set of paper beads.
When you are
decorating your paper tube beads you must primarily decorate a certain area on
the top of your paper strips with the main design you want on your paper bead. These
measurements come in very handy when designing your paper tube beads so that
your finished paper tube beads all come out looking the same. The width of your
paper tube bead does not have an effect when designing. Just the length of your
paper strip does, as it must fit all the way around your finished paper tube bead.
