Little Round Chick says:You are certainly ambitious, Donna. These beads are gorgeous and they don’t look like paper.
Have you shared the source of the directions with us? If not, please do. If you have, please refresh my memory. Now I have to add making paper beads to my “TO DO” list. It’s getting longer every day.
