What? Another Peek? Look at this!
Posted on July 14, 2008 at 1:22 a.m.
Just when you thought it was all winding down... here is another new product from Tinkering Ink! Beadles!
They are paper Die-Cuts that you can roll up and they make all different shapes and sizes of beads! Yep, beads to embellish your scrapbook pages, cards and you can even make them into jewelry! 
(the multi-color beads shown in the pictures are made from the bottom left die-cuts)
So we fly to Chicago early, early in the morning and our office shuts down for a few days. So… the BLOG will be a bit quiet until FREEBIE FRIDAY...we will try and post some CHA fun and still have our give away!
Leave a comment today and tell us something fun you would like to do with the new “Beadles” we will pick a winner and send you your own “Beadles” package of die-cuts AND maybe we will throw in a C.D. of Lennon and McCartney after all they “Let it Bead” why can’t you!

WOW ! this is SO original !!! I think I could make fun necklaces for my girl... she's a "girly girl" (even though she's only 17 months !!) and she'd love that !! xx Sophie
#3 Beth Warren commented on July 14, 2008 at 3:35 a.m.:
I think they are cool...I'd make a bracelet, and also - maybe an idea is use them instead of ribbon as closure for mini album? (you know how you tie ribbon to close an album - maybe have some of the beads on the ribbon?)
#4 Cassandra commented on July 14, 2008 at 3:51 a.m.:
I'd make some beads to hang off my scrapping tote. :)
#5 Maria C commented on July 14, 2008 at 5:44 a.m.:
That looks so cool. What a great idea.
#6 DawnM commented on July 14, 2008 at 6:10 a.m.:
How cool. My DD and I were just making paper beads the other day (they didn't come out too neat so I need this kit,lol)
#7 Bonnie Sharp commented on July 14, 2008 at 6:12 a.m.:
Holy Cow.....my hubby would be so impressed with me! I have got tons of Swarovski crystals that I abandoned when I started making cards! These would go so beautifully with those crystals!!
#8 kimmie commented on July 14, 2008 at 6:21 a.m.:
Ok now this has to be the coolest thing since sliced bread. I am making my own "hat pins" for my pages, so these will come in handy. Love this idea and i cant wait to get some of this goodness, off to let everyone know! Have a great show!!!
#9 Nicole W. commented on July 14, 2008 at 6:46 a.m.:
Very cool! They beads and the stuff you can make with them would be great for gifts!
#10 Kimberlee commented on July 14, 2008 at 6:50 a.m.:
Oh my golly! I have made these with my Girl Scout troops for years!! What a great idea!!! I think I might have to introduce my troop to Tinkering Ink now (usually I just save that for myself, LOL!)
#11 Kimmarie commented on July 14, 2008 at 6:52 a.m.:
How neat! These would be cool to make and hang infront of a room darkening shade for some personal decoration.
#12 Pat Rush commented on July 14, 2008 at 7:14 a.m.:

#14 Alecia Castro www.aleciac.blogspot.com commented on July 14, 2008 at 7:25 a.m.:
How fun are these??!?!?!?! LOVE the name too, so cute!!
#15 Marguerite R. commented on July 14, 2008 at 7:30 a.m.:
I have friends that are into the beading thing. They think they are way cute with the things they make. Wouldn't it be fun to make some "beads" they wouldn't have and show them what really cute is.
#16 Erika commented on July 14, 2008 at 7:37 a.m.:
Okay seriously how ingenious of you all! This will be so cool to try!
#17 Andrea commented on July 14, 2008 at 7:51 a.m.:
Oh, how cool! How about some cool wine charms? or tool charms so that I know my tools when I see the charms? Terrific idea!
#18 Marti C. commented on July 14, 2008 at 7:55 a.m.:
My daughter would absolutely flip for this. She's a huge bead fan and is always looking for something new to try out. I'd love to try these out and make frames from some of my pics on LOs. This is so cool!
#19 Kari commented on July 14, 2008 at 7:59 a.m.:
Wow, those are so cool! My daughter would love wearing a cute bracelet or necklace. Can't wait to see in person!
#20 Grizellie commented on July 14, 2008 at 8:43 a.m.:
If I was to win the Beadles, I would use it for World Peace. I would share them with all the people around the world and encourage them to stop fighting and make their own Beadles. Only us and Beadles can change the world one person at a time.
#21 ShellyJ commented on July 14, 2008 at 8:46 a.m.:
Those look like a fun thing to do with my daughter :) cute cute!
#22 Mary Lib commented on July 14, 2008 at 9:05 a.m.:
Those beadles are the bomb !! Cant wait to get my hands on them. I'm thinking earrings to match the other acessories. ~~
#23 Jingle commented on July 14, 2008 at 9:22 a.m.:
SO much fun! I haven't made paper beads in years! I love the idea of coating them with UTEE! What a great way to finish them!
#24 Yvette H commented on July 14, 2008 at 9:48 a.m.:
Very cool!! I'd make a bracelet and do some to add to my layouts.
#25 tammy b commented on July 14, 2008 at 9:53 a.m.:
those are the coolest stinkin' things! this is totally perfect for a girl's birthday party! what's better than making your own jewelry unless it's making your own beads as well! what a fun way to remember a fun party - much better than a gift bag full of stuff!
#26 christina commented on July 14, 2008 at 10:02 a.m.:
Seriously, how awesome are these?? I can think of some people who would love getting these to make their own stuff. As for me, I see another decoration to go on the bindings of minialbums!
#27 Cecile commented on July 14, 2008 at 10:10 a.m.:
Awesome new product:)) Cecile
#28 mel brand commented on July 14, 2008 at 10:25 a.m.:

#29 Jessica commented on July 14, 2008 at 11:11 a.m.:
I think that this would be a great opportunity to bring the beaded curtain back. I am always thinking of ways to incorporate my love for paper-crafting into my home decor.
#30 Jeannette P commented on July 14, 2008 at 11:16 a.m.:
What a super cool thing to come up with. I would make a necklace out of the new "Beadles" and I think the name is very clever as well.
#31 ca longhorn commented on July 14, 2008 at 11:33 a.m.:
that is just too cute! i know that this would be a great mother/daughter craft project for me and my dd! there is nothing she likes better than crafting with me, especially when it involves creating jewelry!
#32 Amy B. commented on July 14, 2008 at 11:51 a.m.:
The Beadles look fabulous! Can't wait to see them at CHA!
#33 Tracy D. commented on July 14, 2008 at 12:09 p.m.:
The Beadles is such an innovative product. I'm in LOVE! How cool would it be if you could link those together to bind your mini-albums?! I am always looking for a new way to put together my mini albums b/c I'm tired of binder rings and ribbon...let me tell ya...I'm SO GOING TO TRY THIS!!
#34 Tammy F. commented on July 14, 2008 at 12:30 p.m.:
Holy Moly! These rock! I cannot wait to see these in person! I would use them to connect my mini books together...oh the possibilities!
#35 milkcan commented on July 14, 2008 at 1:06 p.m.:

#37 jules p commented on July 14, 2008 at 2:21 p.m.:
I would make some beads for my purse, my sunglass case, and for my daughter's tennis shoes. She would love these jingling on her shoes. I would make a bead ring for my oldest daughter.... ooohhhh...I would have a bead making party. My friends along with their daughters would be so much fun!!! :)
#38 patty w commented on July 14, 2008 at 2:22 p.m.:
NO way! How cool is that!! I'd be beadin' everything! My dd would love to have some on her softball bag. My tote bag and for jewelry is just outtathisworld!
#39 BethW commented on July 14, 2008 at 2:46 p.m.:
Super slick-I can think of whole lot I can do with these. My nursing home residents will love them. I got my goodies Saturday. People the web does not do these papers justice. You will not believe the depth and vibrancy of the colors. I'm telling you-you're going to love them!
#40 Dolores commented on July 14, 2008 at 3:44 p.m.:
Oh WOW! I used to make these beads umpteen gazillion years ago, and I hated the measuring and drawing and cutting. Here it is already done, just ROLL! How kewl is that? I would make some and flatten them down and make flowers for a scrapbook page, or use some dangling from ribbon from the big wooden clothespins that I decoupage and make for friends. I am always looking for different items to hang from the ribbons and I think I've found it!
#41 Doyle commented on July 14, 2008 at 4:02 p.m.:
OMG! I just love these "Beadles" How cool can they be? So excited with all new stuff you are releasing......Can't wait to get my hands on the acutal products...... Oh and I really love and I mean LOVE the Doyle Paper in Retro Metro. So cool
#42 pomaika'i scrapaloha commented on July 14, 2008 at 4:30 p.m.:
What a great idea. I am amazed at how smooth those beads look after the embossing enamel! WTG! Another great product! Have fun at CHA!
#43 Christine C commented on July 14, 2008 at 4:34 p.m.:
How fab are those beadles, I would make a bracelet, earings and perhaps even a broach, they would also look great tied on the end of ribbon to close mini albums, or as trim around a lampshade in a girls room - the possibilities are endless.
#44 HeatherB commented on July 14, 2008 at 4:57 p.m.:
I'm thinking of home decor items with the Beadles - like curtain tie-backs and a beautiful way to cover up the ugly electrical cord for my overhead light! Can't wait to try these at CHA.
#45 jeanie nieva commented on July 14, 2008 at 4:58 p.m.:
it looks great.i'm thinking of making earrings with themor strung them up to hang from my wall. :)
#46 Amy Wing commented on July 14, 2008 at 5:27 p.m.:
Wow. I don't even know what I'd do with these, but they are very cool, and you bet yer buns I'll be thinking about it!
#47 ScrapNSister1 commented on July 14, 2008 at 5:48 p.m.:
Awesome! I would love to make a memory bracelet with my children on these! Thanks for the inspirational products!!!
#48 Cheryl R. commented on July 14, 2008 at 5:59 p.m.:

#49 Kimberly Brock commented on July 14, 2008 at 8:20 p.m.:
Love the bracelet & colors!!!!
#50 Elissa commented on July 14, 2008 at 9:02 p.m.:
I tried making paper beads before (actully with Tinkering Ink paper) but I lost the one I did and gave up. These look like so much fun. I would make bracelts. I'd give some to friends so they'd be amazed at my craftiness!!!
#51 Robyn W commented on July 14, 2008 at 10:12 p.m.:
wow these are pretty cool....noice !!
#52 Michelle Vass commented on July 15, 2008 at 3:36 a.m.:
Hmmm.... I'd like to cover the shaft of my craft knife! That would look pretty cool! :)
#53 Shawn Wenrich commented on July 15, 2008 at 6:55 a.m.:
I have a glass jar with gerber daisies in it. I've been meaning to string some beads to wrap around the jar. These would work great for that. Great new product!
#54 Peg Robinson commented on July 15, 2008 at 8:36 a.m.:
Awesome, I think these would be cool wrapped around pens. They would make beautiful gifts. Now I just need to get my hands on some. lol
#55 Michele Marshall commented on July 15, 2008 at 11:11 a.m.:
I remember making these as a young girl. I can't wait to make these for my scrapbook pages of my daughter that loves to play dress up. I envision creating a BEADLES necklace that outlines my layout then anchor the beads randomly with a glue dot! Michele M
#56 Deanna D commented on July 15, 2008 at 12:35 p.m.:
You have the most unique ideas... I love it! I'm thinking of making a necklace
#57 CoreyW commented on July 15, 2008 at 1:03 p.m.:
that is SUPER creative! wow. I could see some fun necklaces out of those!
#58 Erika M commented on July 15, 2008 at 2:05 p.m.:
These are awesome! I think my daughter would love to work with these - she could host a crafty pajama party. She's 12 and this would be right up her alley.
#59 fran heupel commented on July 15, 2008 at 3:19 p.m.:

#60 Detta commented on July 15, 2008 at 3:27 p.m.:
What a cool idea! So pretty, too.
#61 Sue commented on July 15, 2008 at 4:29 p.m.:
Love the bracelet and necklace! I think the DOYLE paper would look just lovely rolled up as a bead too! Can't wait to play - the possibilities are endless - just like your creativity!!!
#62 Sandra commented on July 15, 2008 at 5:34 p.m.:
What an awesome idea! Would be great to make little zipper tugs or key chains!
#63 Jaime Lynne commented on July 15, 2008 at 5:49 p.m.:
This is so stinking cool! Tinkering Ink does it again!!!
#64 Sabrina S commented on July 15, 2008 at 6:19 p.m.:
THere are so many fun things you could use this for-for scrapbooking, cardmaking as well as for jewelry! How fun!
#65 Sandpaper Kisses commented on July 15, 2008 at 6:48 p.m.:
This is a wonderful project, as I was reading you were going to do them as your make n take at cha, I was already thinking to myself this would make a great make n take! I should do it in my store!!!! Thanks for the wonderful idea, it can accent & embellish so much!
#66 Erin Glee commented on July 15, 2008 at 9:06 p.m.:
I would love to take two Beadles and make myself a new pair of big, bold earrings~ livin' life large but not too heavy ...(if I use a sealant spray instead of UTEE?)...
#67 Missy B. commented on July 15, 2008 at 9:22 p.m.:
I would make the beads and use them to decorate the ribbon holded a mini ablum together, decorate my layouts, and I would use them as a closer on a album that I am making from cardboard.
#68 Jeannine B. commented on July 15, 2008 at 9:38 p.m.:
Too fun! I am thinking they would be fun to string together and make a beaded curtain for my scrap-room! Or arrange on a canvas to spell out a name or word. I might be dreaming of these tonight as I sleep!
#69 Cate commented on July 16, 2008 at 4:28 a.m.:
Those beadles are awesome!! In my house it would be a battle between the girls and the boy for who would get to make them - and wear them! Thanks for sharing so many awesome sneak peeks! Have fun a CHA - how I wish I was closer!!
#70 kimmie commented on July 16, 2008 at 10:13 a.m.:
I think Tinkering Ink has stirred up the scrappy world with these!!!!
#71 Gina commented on July 16, 2008 at 10:31 a.m.:
SO cute! I could totally see using these for some home decor in my littles bedroom which we are slowly redecorating.
#72 Melisa commented on July 16, 2008 at 10:52 a.m.:
so cool would be great as a keyring or lanyard!!

#78 Sharon commented on July 16, 2008 at 1:30 p.m.:
I want beads to hang in a window.
#79 Ann Martin commented on July 16, 2008 at 1:33 p.m.:

What a great idea. I've done it the OLD way. This will be great!!!
#81 Dana commented on July 16, 2008 at 1:59 p.m.:
I just want to roll them up and put them in a jar!

#84 diane mcvey commented on July 16, 2008 at 4:12 p.m.:
Too cool!!! I'd use them on a cord/string for cards, and also to make bracelets! Awesome! dinobomp@aol.com
#85 Susan B commented on July 16, 2008 at 4:27 p.m.:
WOW! What a cool idea. Why didn't I think of that?? I think I would make a closure for a box with the beads. The kind that you would tie a string around. Or, I might make some scissor charms. The ideas are endless.
#86 cindy rangel commented on July 16, 2008 at 4:42 p.m.:
I would love to learn to make these Beadles. I would put them on the quilted totes I am making for friends this xmas. thanks for the chance to win. ;)
#87 Gwylan commented on July 16, 2008 at 6:55 p.m.:
Those beads look great! I want to learn to make them! I wonder if they can be made smaller for card embellishments. No weight to them, I'd imagine - bonus!
#88 Andrea commented on July 16, 2008 at 8:23 p.m.:
These are too cool! These would be great for my Girl Scout troop meeting. A lot easier to do than all the cutting. I never could make those lines come out right. Can't wait to try them! I love the embossing on them too!
#89 wendi robinson commented on July 16, 2008 at 9:35 p.m.:
oh my gosh!!!! soooo totally cool, those braclets and necklaces would be soo much fun, and a great project for me and my daughter to do, she would be in heaven!!!!

#95 Jenna Franklin commented on July 17, 2008 at 9:18 a.m.:
Oooh! I make tons of these beads - nice to have them pre-cut, lol! That part takes me forever! Another option rather than the UTEE is dipping them (multiple, multiple times) in Future Floor Finish!
#96 Jayne K commented on July 17, 2008 at 9:57 a.m.:
Fantabulous idea! I am so impressed and pleased with this clever and excellent new product! A++++ to you guys at TINKERING INK!! Beadles are a definite winner!

#101 lenore commented on July 17, 2008 at 12:13 p.m.:
I love this idea and would definitley make a bracelet for my teenage daughter to wear!
#102 Marliese commented on July 17, 2008 at 12:46 p.m.:
Awesome! Great idea, and I'd start with a bracelet and keep going from there. I'm sure that once I start, I'd have trouble stopping. Marliese
#103 Becky Sorensen commented on July 17, 2008 at 1:02 p.m.:
Wow, those are totally cool. We would have fun with that.

Now that is a fun new take on paper.
#111 Kriddle49 commented on July 17, 2008 at 9:40 p.m.:
Wow, these are so bealutiful and look like fun! Endless ideas...Make dangles to hang from the Christmas tree!!! I love to use my scrapping papers to make ornaments. I think they would make great earings, lightweight and you could make the whole set..necklace, braclets to match. decorate large letters with them, and so much more. Can't wait to see them in paeson.
#112 Fleur commented on July 18, 2008 at 12:36 a.m.:
These look very cool - I think I would try and make a keychain or add some to the spine of a mini book with some ribbon!

#116 Cindy Cade commented on July 18, 2008 at 9:54 p.m.:
Far out! Do these bring back hippie, umm make that happy memories. Wink! I want to make some dangly earrings, wrap a headband (unbeaded, just strips), and put together a nice chainlink/beaded belt to match. Why not put some on my shoe laces while I am at it? Oh, and a nice book mark, with lots of colorful beads hanging out would be mighty cool too! I love em, yeah yeah yeah! Creatively, Cindy C cjcmlc at horizonview dot com ;-)
#117 edie3 commented on July 19, 2008 at 6:52 a.m.:
