Cereal Box Bead Heart
Featured at Create with Joy
I found this really great heart craft over at
Restyled Junk. She cut up a
Christmas bead garland, which I have
the exact same garland but didn't have
the "heart" to cut it up!
You can find her tutorial HERE.
However, I have this box of paper and
cereal box beads that I had
intended to make jewelry with, but...
So when I saw her crafted heart
I knew what to do with them.
Yes, my way is a bit time more consuming
because first you have to cut and roll
the cereal box beads and paint them.
But that doesn't bother a serious
recycling / up cycling crafter ;-)
One down, five more to go... plus, they'll look great on my Christmas tree!
Happy Saturday, Y'all!

Good Morning Pat and thank you for your visit and comment. I have some magazine beads as well, and my daughter has already told me she wants "one of those LONG necklaces that you wrap around your head two or three times" - whew, I've got lots more cutting, gluing and sealing to do for that project ;-)

Howdy Jo May, thank you for your kind words. I just pulled 2 empty boxes out of the cabinet - crackers and grits (packet) boxes. Hooray! now I need more glue ;-)

What a great project! I've never thought to make beads from cereal boxes (I've made them from paper before). I'm hosting a loving valentine's day party and this would be a great project to link up. I'd love for you to stop by!

DeleteSooo pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this at The DIY Dreamer... From Dream To Reality last week!!!
I don't know that I would have the patience to roll paper to make beads. But...I love yours!! Did I miss a tutorial for making those beads?
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! thanks for commenting, and I'll have a TUT up soon but it's the same process for cereal box weight as for magazine paper - you just get a much bigger bead like the wood beads. Check back soon ;-)
DeleteOh my goodness! You have the patience of a saint to roll all those beads! The results are worth it though, your heart garland is so pretty!
