Gorgeous beads made from newspaper...go here for the tutorial.
Step #1 - Gather a small pile of newspapers from the recycling basket.
Step #2 - Rip the paper into small pieces
Step #3 - Put the pieces of newspaper in a large stock pot
Step #4 - Pour enough boiling water over the paper to cover
Step #5 - Allow to sit for an hour or so
Step #6 - Stir the paper to help break it down a bit
Step #7 - Drain as much water out of the paper as you can
Step #8 - Add enough glue to the paper to help it hold together in a ball shape (any glue that is clear when dry - such as Elmer’s, or PVA)
Step #9 - Roll the paper into round balls being sure to squeeze out as much moisture as you can while rolling (you can make any size you would like)
Step #10 - Let them dry for a few days - rolling them every several hours - until they are completely dry
