My home made beads

Yesterday I decided to remake some beads I had at home. :] I documented the whole process and thought I’d share it with you.

1. Find some beads you dont really like (maybe cut up an old ugly bracelate you got laying around).

2. Take out your painting colours, acrylic dries fast so thats nice. Mix up the colour you want.

3. Paint them twice so they’re all covered in paint.

4. I painted some black hearts as details :]

5. Took out my glitter-glue!. (If you dont have glitterglue maybe you could glue on something

else or just paint more details).

6. Separated every bead with other plastic beads so it would be easier to apply small glitter-dots all around them. Then I let the glitter dry for about 40 minuits.

7. Put all the beads on a string and tied knots between all of them.

8. Dipped them in the varnish. (The reason for tying knots was so they would stay separated after I had dipped them in the varnish.)

10. I hung up the string with beads so they could dry. (Before haning them up I shaked of the excessive vernish spinning the string real fast, make sure you dont get it on yourself!).

11. Home made beads! The pink bracelet is made by beads I did in the same way months ago :].

Stupid me couldnt wait for the purple beads to dry tho (its taken more than a whole day for them to dry!) so I started poking on them and left marks so now they’re not as smooth as they should have been. All of the things I used when doing this were just things I had around the house, maybe you could try doing this too. :]

Hope you liked it, bye bye for today!
