Mary Ann from Bright Ring Publishing, Inc., has generously allowed us to share some of her art and craft ideas with you. You can find more activities on her site at http://www.brightring.com

	Materials: sheets of newspaper or magazine toothpicks glue scissors yardstick pencil darning needle nylon thread or cord
Directions:
Mark off 1" intervals all the way down the left side of the newspaper page with the yardstick. Now mark the other side, beginning 1/2" from the top. Then continue to mark 1" intervals on this side, all the way down the page. Connect each left hand mark with two opposite ones with yardstick to make triangles. Cut out the triangles. Place a toothpick across the wide end, and wind the paper 2 or 3 times tightly onto the toothpick. Hold the paper in place and glue inside strip. Wind up until point is securely glued. Remove toothpick and let bead dry. Make about 10 beads. Thread beads onto a piece of nylon thread or cord. Tie ends. Wear as a necklace! Variations: Alternate newspaper beads with wooden beads or beads saved from broken jewelry. Experiment with papers to make beads, colorful comic strips being particularly pretty.
