craftgrrlI have decided to try my hand at making paper beads... I even went out and bought some pretty pretty paper last night...
In one of the tutorials, I saw that I should be using a teeny tiny straw as my bead "base" so that it has a hole in it and what-not.... but the only straws that I can find are red...
Here's my question: Is there any way that I can make the beads on wooden skewers (which would create the hole!)? If so, how would I slide them off without destroying the completed bead? Or, is there an easier way?
Thanks!!
