This was an end of year activity my Grade 4-6 students enjoyed, though, not all were able to successfully create the paper beads. They measured and cut one inch thin triangles from magazine paper and rolled it around a bamboo stick and glued it shut. It's a pretty fiddly craft and takes very good fine motor skills and dexterity! Definitely watch a tutorial- Youtube has lots.
Once they had anout for a bracelet, I varnished the beads using clear nail polish strung on a thin wire. The next class they chose small colored beads and strung their bracelet onto clear elastic thread. They were very happy with them!
