Ahh, I love the smell of Mod-Podge in the morning!!!


Last night I made some magazine beads using old magazines and mod-podge. They are really easy and fun to make, so I made a quick little tutorial for them, so here ya be!


Magazine Beads


What you'll need:

A magazine with pages the colors you want
Mod-Podge
Toothpicks
A Paint brush

Step 1. Cut your magazine pages into triangles, like so:




Step 2. Lay a toothpick on the wide end of the triangle, and make sure you have the colorful side(the side you want to beads to be) face down.




Step 3. Brush some mod-podge onto the paper and start rolling the paper tightly around the toothpick.






Step 4. When you get to the end of the paper, brush mod-podge over the whole bead and wait a minute or two for it to dry a little bit and them carefully slide the bead off of the toothpick.


Step 5. Let them dry for half an hour then add another coat of mod-podge to add extra shine a durability. And that's it!! They should look something like this:



Thanks for looking!!
