A Paper Bead Roller Can Give Old Magazines New Life

By William Hill


People who care about the inside of their home are usually on the lookout for the next fresh idea. It may be the latest color, pattern or scheme but the idea is to look like no one else in their social circle. This is why some are turning to recycled items, either in their entirety or as an accent piece. Even if they do not want to travel back into time, a paper bead roller can help with repurposing items already in the home.

Lately, the art of repurposing has taken on new meaning. In its early days, most people who reused old items and attempted to create something new or different did not have the same visual appeal. While the items may have served a purpose, like saving money, few had access or skills to make something fantastic.

Today, there are many products on the market that are not only easy to use but are inexpensive. Things like neon cardstock or metallic shimmer lace were not around decades ago. A lot of unique crafting tools were not common in areas that did not have a creative community or rural areas. Fortunately, the internet has changed things for the better.

These days, storage items no longer have to be bland or unattractive. Nor does something with visual appeal have to cost a fortune. Crafting has come a long way these days and people who do not have a creative bone in their body find it amazing what they can do in a matter of minutes.

Functionality is usually the main reason why people redecorate their home. Visual appeal is important also but as more people find that modern homes are getting smaller, they want to make the best use of interior space. However, they also find that nice looking item that is meant to save space can cost a small fortune in home decor or specialty stores.

With a little creativity, anyone can make these things by hand or with the use of small tools. All a person has to do is gather items that can be functional but easy to use. Duct tape, wire, glue, and small screws can make a number of products that can be used every day. Basic crafting kits contain items needed by beginners and have project ideas that can be completed in a matter of minutes.

Another project for long or thin beads is to cover up old boxes. It does not matter the shape or size but it is important to use a primer that is a similar color of the beads to be used first. Decorative boxes can be used for small plants, filled with treats and given as a gift, or functional storage.

Even if a person only likes to craft as a hobby, it can be very relaxing. They may feel comfortable sticking with simple projects, which can still look like they came from some fancy retailer. Over time, they may feel comfortable experimenting with new materials or patterns or just add a personal touch or two. Adding beads made from favorite magazine pages is one way to let people know that a person cares about the environment.
