Beads

I made these beads sometime ago and there are plenty of instructions out there. I think the site I originally looked at was into recycling and resuing. They are basically mushed up newspaper and I think PVA glue, as they are quite hard and I had to drill the threading holes.
I had thought I could use these for gifts bit then wasn't sure about them. I pulled them out when I saw this challenge and decided to string them and see what I thought.
I do quite like the rusticness of them and the colours I used - they almost look like little worlds/globes. I think I will need to search out the idea again and give them another go sometime.

This is for the Paper Artsy Challenge #16 Beads, Charms, Dangles.
