MATERIALS REQUIRED:

• Chart or calendar paper
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Glue
• Pen/Marker
• Thread/String

Measure strips of the paper of any dimensions depending on the length and thickness of beads required.

Draw a diagonal line lengthwise along opposite corners of the strip and cut it out along the line.Triangular strips are obtained.

Start rolling the triangle piece along the 2 larger sides starting from the smallest side to the pointed end of the triangle. Insert glue at the end so that it stays in shape.

Repeat the 3 steps until you get several such beads. These beads have various applications.
