The One Thing That Changed The Way I Roll Paper Beads

Cutting Paper Bead Strips with a Cutting Machine
This week’s tutorial is something a bit different but one I’ve wanted to do for a while. You may have heard me talk about how arthritis in my hand spurred us on to make the current version of our bead rollers, but you may NOT know about the other physical obstacle I’ve had to overcome for this craft. BACK PAIN!

I started paper beading over three years ago, but I wasn’t able to sit down at my hand cutter and cut enough paper strips to really dig into the craft, let alone make enough projects to fill a YouTube channel! So when I decided to purchase my cutting machine, it was a decision that truly changed my life!

You can hear all about it and see a quick tutorial of how to use a cutting machine to cut paper bead strips in this week’s video tutorial on YouTube.
