The Beady Bunch – day 244

Posted on Feb 9, 2012 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 4 comments

Bead caps are great with paper beads, or any other kind of beads, they are perfect accents that gives a finished look to your projects.  I used green colored paper beads that are about 7mm in size.   What I did, is put them on head pins with simple top loop.  I strung them on longer head pins with a lemon colored crystal first.

They are just mouthwatering don’t you think?

I hate making excuses for not posting so I’m not going to.  I hate making promises I couldn’t keep either.  All I can say, is that my passion for making paper beads and turning them into beautiful jewelry has not abated.  I still sleep thinking paper beads and wake up full of ideas and enthusiasm.  I am glad that you share this passion with me.  Lately, I have been swamped with a lot of work but it is all good.  Thank you for your daily visits, it is very much appreciated!- Janice

Fringed Hoops – day 243

Posted on Jan 19, 2012 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 7 comments

I must admit, these earrings are not for the faint of heart.  I made them out of the 2 1/2 inch memory wire.  The olive shaped paper beads and small round beads are just the perfect size beads for earrings.

I added fine silver chains to give it movement.  I love big earrings and this is definitely one that I can wear, especially I cut my hair really short.

Beaded Heart Bib – day 242

Posted on Jan 8, 2012 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

I thought I will do a post on something Valentine(y).  I caught the “Bibs” fever lately and couldn’t stop making them!  It’s like piecing a puzzle together using paper beads, or a mosaic.

Beaded Bib – day 241

Posted on Dec 31, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 3 comments

I always admire when I see a beaded bib worn as a necklace or attached to a neckline of a top.  It is a fun project, the kind that somehow surprises you with what the outcome would be.  I gathered, old trinkets, buttons, mismatch earrings, some beads and paper beads of course and proceeded to put together my own version of the beaded bib.

How to: Cut out a pattern from a felt of any color to fit your neckline.  Gather beads, buttons, ribbons, etc….and lay them out on your pattern.  I used E6000 to glue the big pieces, if you want to put seed beads into the mixture it’s better to sew it onto your piece.  I don’t consider this a quick project because it involved laying out your beads and finding the right placement.  After………it will be all worth it!
