The girls and I are making homemade beads today. Today we followed the recipe, rolled them, used straws to poke holes in them and then set them in the sun to dry. I followed the recipe but put about 1/2 cup or a little more warm water in, and then just kneaded in the proper remaining amount of flour to make them easy to roll out. I think we'll put colored paint in separate containers with lids and let them roll the paint on. Then we will let them dry again, spray on a seal/polish and then string them when dry. Will post pictures when done.
