The bead idea with UTI on them... I never would have thought of that. Brilliant. And I look for any way to use UTI because that big jar of it will last my lifetime. LOL

I know exactly what you mean about that giant jar of UTEE! 😂. It’s always a relief to find a way to use it. It did blow all over the place I have to say when I used it on the beads, so maybe use it in a box or something. 😄❤️❤️

@@KarensKardzz I see what you mean by sore fingers. I lasted for 4 beads before I went searching for my quilling tool. It works great and makes the beads much easier and faster. My problem is cutting the paper. I am using a guillotine cutter and the paper shifts but I use the pieces anyway and they seem OK. I have a lot more beads to make before I have enough for a necklace. It is so much fun.

I made thilose paper beads when I was young, and even then, I didn't find them too inspiring, but with the embossing enamel and rainbow colors that is a surprisingly pretty necklace! My thought was that you might be able to take greeting cards and make some beads, so that you can have a keepsake from a special event, but not have to keep a whole pile of cards. Thanks for all the inspiration! I also like the idea of the micro beads in the grout! I bought a bunch of them a while ago and haven't been brave enough to break them out yet. 😅

Thank you so much Ann and that is a brilliant idea to use the greeting cards! The embossing powder really does give it a nice shine but I may try the Distress Resist spray as that would be even easier to do. I hope you give the micro beads a go too. 😄❤️❤️

Thanks so much Teresa! I used some nylon thread to string the beads and just knotted it going around and through the end bead. I probably knotted it about 3-4 times as I was terrified it would come loose! 😂. For the bracelet, I used some elastic beading thread so there’s no clasp on it.
