In addition, you will have to look for toothpicks, glue stick, clear nail polish. All these are items that you can find in the house or borrow from the neighbors for that project to be cheap.

Take the glue, apply on the remaining part of the writing sheet strip and make one rotation. Firmly roll the paper on the toothpick with your hand. Remove the toothpick.

When you are done with the other pieces, seal the beads. This step will be very crucial in a way that if you do not do this, then your beads will be very vulnerable to water. Take the nail polish preferably the clear nail polish. Apply on the outside of the beads. Leave them to dry for about ten minutes and then you are good to go ahead with the next step.
