 In one of the beading magazines recently there were some instructions for making a beadboard out of card stock.  For whatever reason I have looked and looked and can't find it again.  It is not like the familiar grey flocked and channeled bead boards but looks like a series of steps.  One can mark out dimensions on the card stock and layout a bead pattern laterally.  Anyone have these directions?

Thanks in advance.

I think I remember something like that in a "tips & techniques" section.  There is also a pic of something similar in the latest "Step by Step Beads" issue in the polymer clay article, although it's being used to hold the finished bits for baking.  All you have to do is fold a piece of cardstock back and forth to make the "V" shapes, and then use a ruler to mark it however you want.

Hope that helps,

Jeni

 Hi Jeni,

Yes, that does help.  Thank you.

And I did FINALLY run across some directions; I was far more efficient with my filing than I usually am.

I know what you mean! The very LAST place I expect to find things is where they're SUPPOSED to be! =D
