I Have My Own Craft: Do You?

When I am not doing anything, I used to cut strips of magazines to create my own paper beads. I am a little bit curious in things seen in trade fair. I had seen some accessories out of paper beads. With no doubt, I had experimented to create a rosary with my own paper beads. It turned out to a good masterpiece. The first project of mine was handed to my lovely grandmother. She was so delighted and think I am good in experimenting my own skills in simple craft. It is really a heartwarming experience to share such craft. Photo Credit: Shavkat

It certainly is a masterpiece and the person you gave it to deserve only a masterpiece as a gift. Have you tried making a curtain using paper beads?

Of course I also have my own crafts. How about painting? Besides, I also like to use the polymer clay to make something like angry birds. They are very cute.

It would be fun to do new things. I had done this because I was so bored. At least, I had created a good craft out of curiosity.

@Shavkat - That looks to be a whole lot of hard work to make a multi-bead rosary. Nice work, Shavkat. How do you keep the paper beads from falling apart? Dip them? Spray them? Anyway, the result is really nice from the photo you show here. Regards, Gus Kilthau

I love craft as much as i love painting. I too like paper craft.... my preference is making items with quilling (similar to the way you make beads), and decoupage.

@Shavkat it helps to be creative. Is a good therapy to relax the mind.... besides making something useful with bits of paper :)
