Paper Bead Buttons – day 268

Posted on Mar 25, 2012 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 1 comment

Button beads!  Not just any buttons but made out of paper!  I just received new beads from Philippines, in lovely magazine colors.  I love these small button beads and I’m sure you will too.  I made a few things with it, when I see new beads I couldn’t get my hand off them!  So here is a pair of chandelier earrings and a video!

Eco Elegance – day 267

Watch out!  This necklace is not for the faint of heart:)  Made out of the Saucer Beads in beautiful vibrant colors.  I just got this shipment today from my sister in the Philippines and couldn’t wait to put one piece of jewelry together.  I think this style plays on the different views of the necklace, don’t you think?

Bead Crochet Bangles -day 262 to 266

Posted on Mar 20, 2012 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 4 comments

Today, I am showing you a gallery of bangles I did using seed beads.  A few years ago, I was an avid jewelry maker, still is except now I mainly use paper beads.  From time to time I had to feed my passion of making jewelry using different kind of beads.  To stay true to my mission of promoting paper beads, I had to incorporate a circlet charm of tiny paper beads in each bracelet.  Take a look:

Rose Wire Bangle-day 261

Posted on Mar 19, 2012 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 1 comment

Wire crochet makes really elegant pieces, I have made several and will continue making it.  I did this piece using 28 gauge copper color (rose) wire as the canvass for the rivoli crystals and paper bead leaves and buttons.  If you already know crochet, don’t be intimidated to crochet with wire just treat it like it is yarn only more forgiving.  Any mistakes is easily hidden and unrecognizable even to a trained eye.
