Making paper beads is a fun and relaxing hobby! I have designed this cut file to make cutting the strips much easier for you. Strips that are cut with an electronic cutter (such as a Silhouette Cameo, Cricut, Brother Scan-n-Cut, etc.) are cut quickly and will be uniform in size.
Your download will include cutting files in svg and fcm formats, sized for 8.5"x11" and 12"x12" papers. **Please ensure that you know how to use these files in your cutting machine - instructions for cutting and file importing and/or conversion are not included. I have a Scan-n-Cut; I am not familiar with other machines and cannot provide support.
If you do not have an electronic cutter, a pdf of the template is also included - you can print it off on any papers you wish and cut the lines by hand.
This collection of files will cut strips for the 5 sizes of Euro Style beads pictured in the listing. There are 5 widths - 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm and 10mm. All the beads pictured in the listing have been made using these cut files. They can be used with Pandora or other similar large hole European style charm bracelets and accessories. Finished results may vary depending on the thickness of the paper, the diameter of the roller, and the number of layers rolled at once. The beads can be made with or without the core strip. The core strip can also be used as a standalone tube bead or can be used to add thickness to other bead strips of the same width. All core files will cut with a perforated line at the center so you can adjust the length of the core to your liking.
5mm rollers were used for the beads with metal grommets. The grommets pictured were purchased online - they have a 5mm hole. Other grommet sizes can be purchased, and should correspond with the size of your roller for best fit.
