I didn't read all the comments first, so I don't think we got the paper shredded enough. Anyway, our first batch is sitting in the open window drying... we will see how they turn out! I am very exciting, though I am sure it will take a few batches for them to work well. What about adding a varnish or sealer prior to forming the balls to help make them water resistant? The kids were funny... whining about getting sticky during the process! The kids and I started this today… I didn’t read all the comments first, so I don’t think we got the paper shredded enough.

It's been a while since I've done it and your beads have inspired me to start back up. Thanks for the tutorial. I love working with papier mache.

They look great. I’ve seen paper beads made by rolling strips of paper and then coating with glue. but I have never seen it done this way. They look great.

My trick for getting the paper torn up small enough is to use an old blender (hello thrift store!). Tear up the paper and add a little water to make a slurry. At least this is how I did it when I was making regular paper and my grand scheme for making these beads. My sense it that you wouldn't need heat doing it this way. At least that is what I will find out the hard way :-) I read that you definitely want to use separate stuff just for paper and not use the bowl/pot/blender for food, too. HTH! GREAT tutorial!
