When you get a batch of the same issue old magazines or catalogs you will be able to make beads that are similar in pattern and color and then, you can make a set of necklace and bracelet pretty much like this one.
I used small button beads as the focal beads for the necklace.
Sorry for replying again, but I need to ask another question.
What is the swirling I see? Is it wire?
That is so unusual to me. Splendid!
Is there a tutorial on making button beads?
