Beads In Orbit

Posted on Sep 30, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 9 comments

This type of design is very simple way to display both the paper beads and the exposed soft flex beading wire.  The paper beads almost look like the different planets in orbit with the colorful swirls of paper beads around each bead.  This particular design is the perfect example of how to best use different size paper beads, mostly round and olive shaped beads.

I love using the magnetic closure, easy on easy off!  The beads are movable but you can also glue it in place if you prefer that it stays put.  Like the solar system they should be free to move around, don’t you think?  🙂

Hmmm… this would look pretty in a three strand necklace, what do you think?

  1. I watched the tutorial- where do you get the crimp beads?

    • Hi Ashley,

      You can find them at bead shops or Michael’s. I will be including the crimp bead and the beading wire should we decide to make this design. Janice
