When I saw the white paper rope, I thought it would be a nice canvass for the colorful paper beads of different shapes and size. I love working with wire, twisting and wrapping, just letting your imagination go wild. I did not have a pattern for this necklace or wreath, I made this with left over paper beads. I treated the paper rope with Vibrance and it made it more durable and stiff.
I used round small paper beads, olive shape and tiny paper beads – I strung them on a 28 gauge craft wire and just twisted them to form leaves, buds and flowers.
They look pretty as a necklace or even as a crown I would imagine.
You can use a heavier gauge wire like 20 gauge instead of the paper rope.
What a nice way to display those vibrant colorful beads!
I love this necklace its so interesting and looks beautiful on the neck line
