You can create beads from all kinds of paper and turn them into beautiful jewelry. This bracelet was made using a free printable on regular copy paper, but the technique works with any paper you choose. The process is the same—only the look will change!

Materials I used:
- printed copy paper
- white glue
- magnetic clasp
- dowel
- sharpie marker
- cord
- Diamond Glaze
- Cricut Maker
- strong permanent adhesive
- scissors
You can grab the free SVG file and printable in the zipped file here: [support files]
To purchase the same magnetic clasps, they are available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/45Bb6CC

Using the free SVG file linked above will create two different-sized beads when rolled. If you prefer all your beads to be the same size, simply print and cut two sheets of the same size design instead of one.

I chose for my beads to be shiny so I used two coats of Diamond Glaze. There are a variety of different materials you can use to coat your paper beads. Here are some suggestions:
- Mod Podge
- varnish
- UV resin
- clear nail polish
- acrylic spray
- gel medium
- white glue + water

So creative — can’t believe that bracelet is made from paper!
