My daughter is doing a school project on Artifacts of Mohenjo-Daro and we thought that making her own beads might be a good idea.

    this is simple.. i hope you like it.

    you will need:
    -old magazines, newspaper
    -glue
    -water
    -paint brush
    -acrylic paint
    -palette for the paint — or a plastic/paper plate will be fine
    -drinking straw
    -cup for the glue& water

    instructions:

    -start by mixing the glue with the water. make sure its easy to spread, and not very thick

    -get a strip of paper from the magazine. cut out 1-2 cm.

    -roll the strip of paper on the straw. but as youre rolling, dab glue on the paper.

    -after, set the bead down and wait to dry.

    -when dry pull the bead out of the straw. now, you can paint it .

    - in order to paint the whole bead, you need string to hang it on something, and that way you can paint it without getting paint on your self!!
