How to do it
1 Cut four or more weaving paper strips to the desired length (min. 15cm long).
2 Cut a hole through the middle with a hand punch and also cut a hole at each end of the strip, approx. 0.5cm from ends.
3 Thread a silver bead onto a piece of wire – thread both ends of the wire through a large bead or more.
4 Now thread both ends of the wire through the middle hole of the strips.
Thread on a new bead and a crimp bead and squeeze.
5 Cut off the excess wire – put a crimp bead and a bead onto the wire. Adjust according to the length of the strip and squeeze.
6 Now put the ends of the strips alternately onto the wire.
7 Finish with one or more beads as well as a crimp bead – squeeze.
You may vary the length and number of strips as well as the number of beads and amount of decoration.
