Oh gosh, nevernevernever suggested that you make "the same bead" -- I'm talking about taking your new skill set, applying it to your work, and you sell one bead and recoup your costs...and the knowledge is yours forever. Never did I say to make the same bead.
But really, your desire to print them out, and jacket them, and buy binders adds to your cost voluntarily because you like it that way. The tutorial author should not be required to take that into consideration.
Again, just say'n...
