Random Quick Tip!

Non Stick Toothpicks
If you like to brush your glaze on your paper beads but your beads get stuck to your toothpick or what ever you are using to hold your beads while brushing on the glaze, try applying chapstick or vaseline jelly on your picks before sticking your bead on the end. When your beads are dry, your beads will slide right off. I do this when I coat my paper beads with 2 part epoxy resin. Really works well!
