Please note: I am now selling all of my paper bead making tools and other items from this web site using Paypal payments.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon. My Kindle crochet pattern books and paper template paperback books continue to be available on Amazon, as they are printed and fulfilled directly by Amazon. A limited number of paper bead making tools remain available on Etsy but I am not linking to those tools from this site.

Random Quick Tip!

Cutting Mat Not Sticky Enough?
If the cutting mat you use with your electronic cutting machine no longer is sticky, you can use painter's tape to keep the paper or cardstock you are cutting on the mat. Just put pieces of tape on all four sides and 4 corners about a couple of inches long each. I am doing this each time I need to cut more shapes for my English Paper Piecing project. These are for the shapes I cannot cut with my Accuqilt dies.
