Beading Projects! |
|
Paper bead rolling was a traditional craft, which was popular at the turn of the 19th century. Victorian ladies used scraps of wall paper to hand roll beads, the beads were then strung onto long pieces of yarn, which once completed were hung up to create curtains, used to separate rooms. This practice was then revived in the 1920s and 30s for paper bead jewelry making. |
