This set of cutting templates will make paper bead strips that are 20mm at the wide end, 18mm at the narrow end and from approximately 8.5 to 11 inches long. The templates are meant to be printed either on the back side of your colorful paper or printed on a blank or recycled piece of copy paper and placed on top of the paper you want to cut into strips. Then you cut your paper into strips along the template lines.

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!

Row Markers
Gee what would make good stitch markers without buying the commercial ones? I use tabs from loaves of bread. They have sharp little nibs on them but they can easily be filed down with an emery board. Or you can always use the old standby, scraps of contrasting yarn. I know, I know, you may have already heard this tip but I feel it deserves to be heard again.
