Paper Beads From Scraps of Rubbish Off a Shop Floor
Paper Bead Ideas – Transform Rubbish
Wherever I go, I am always thinking of new paper bead ideas.
A few weeks back, I was in The Range in a town far far away from where I live.
I was looking at all the enticing art and craft supplies as usual but not seeing quite what I wanted.

Doodling On Pebbles and Stones
Doodling on pebbles and stones is great fun and very inexpensive!
It is a craft that all ages and abilities can do and all you need are the kind of smooth, flat pebbles you find on the beach. If you want to go straight to my film on how I prepare my stones and then doodle on them, click here.
If you don’t live near the beach but want to try doodling on pebbles and stones, turn over some earth in your garden and see what kind of stones there are where you live – you may be lucky!
What craft stuff do you need for doodling on pebbles and stones?
The good news is, not much! You will of course need whatever pebbles or stones you have found for free and a couple of black fine liner pens. You may want to use a colored gel pen as well if you want to do what I have done here and add a dash of color. I used a red metallic glitter gel pen.
