If you have arrived here because you have see my paper beading tools online, please note, as of spring 2024, I no longer sell these tools. But don’t worry because…
…coming up in late August 2024, I have a video coming out showing you how to make the tool yourself!
I will also be telling you where to get the supplies to make them.
Many years have passed since I first made tools for paper beading.
And although the shaft remained the same, the handles have been through a few transitions.
The handle is so important; it needs to be lightweight, comfortable to hold and sturdy.
So I have had a few changes of handle over the years and my current one is the most popular.
This is because it has a gentle curve, making it sit better in your hand. It’s definitely the most ergonomically friendly handle I have had.
The tools have been popular with people who enjoy paper beading but find smaller or heavier handles difficult to use.
You can use these craft tools to make…
The main place I sold my paper beading tools was on Etsy.
However, I stopped selling them there last year due to issues with their domestic v international postage system.
So people began tracking me down through social media to find out where they can buy my tools.
For awhile, I sold bead tools privately to people who contacted me.
But without an infrastructure like etsy behind me, I wasn’t keen on selling that way.
So I stopped selling them and decided to do a tutorial explaining to people how to make their own paper bead tool which functions exactly like mine.
If you long to get into paper beading – you can!
Don’t waste any more time thinking you can’t be creative, paint or make pretty, crafty stuff as well as other people.
Just DO IT! No one said you had to be good at it to enjoy yourself. It’s all about the process – not the end result – and as you jump in and do stuff – you will get better and better!
An easy way to produce beautiful crafts quite quickly is to start making paper beads. Watch my video here and then wait until the end of August when I will show you how to make you own bead tool.
And I will also be launching my new, improved paper bead strip stencil template to help you draw out paper bead strips really quickly.
I still sell digital downloads on Etsy, so do go and have a look at them.
You can contact me via instagram, the link is further up this post if you missed it.
If you enjoyed this post, maybe you will enjoy this one too.
Happy crafting!
