| Blessings embedded into the beads make these a special craft project! |
Follow the link below to watch my video explanation of how to make these meaning-filled beads which embed thoughtful wishes or prayers right into each bead. It's a great way to create a unique jewelry creation for someone special. We made one for our niece's baby shower, and recently made another for a friend who is battling cancer.
I'd recommend writing down the prayers or intentions on a sheet of paper and letting that list accompany your final creation.
That way the recipient will know the contents of their beads. All in all, a meaningful and fun way to use your yupo paper!

Here are some photos of our creations...

| Materials you'll need: heat gun, sturdy non-melting work surface, needle nosed pliers (I like having 2), scissors, yupo paper, acrylic paint, metal nails or thin rods |

| Paint your yupo, dry, then cut into narrow strips. Write your blessings or prayers on the unpainted side of the paper strips |
 |
| wrapping the yupo strips tightly around a wire support rod is key |
