I came across a most interesting website through Twitter via a tweet that @Jason_Pollock went through my personal stream. I was like ‘paper beads?’ Yes, I have heard of them, but it has been some time and I remember how I loved how they looked.

However, I also remember how I use to make them as a little girl using a pencil and paper and they were just one big mess. At PaperBeadGirl.com, they sell a utensil called The Paper Bead Roller (the patent is pending, as said on the website.) Now, I am thinking… that is a nifty idea!

It is one of those ideas you wish you had, but who cares… it exists now, so yay! It makes all those days fretting with normal beading because I remember the mess of making paper beads as a kid and teen, just waft away.

Anyway, the creator, Vicki Dehne (@paperbeadgirl on Twitter) gives a video demonstration on how to use The Paper Bead Roller and even has some wonderful purses and even displays some of the projects Vicki has completed using this method. It is actually a DIY crafters dream! If you love DIY stuff and bead making, you should visit PaperBeadGirl.com. It is a real inspiration. Perhaps in the future Vicki might even have some media or book tutorials of her own to share on the amazing stuff she has already created?
