The Beady Bunch – day 244
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

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.
Here I am wearing it 🙂
Beaded Heart Bib – day 242
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.
Special Announcement: I am going back to Jewelry Television with a new kit and a “how to make” the beaded bib on January 12th (Thursday) 8:00 pacific or go to JTV.COM for schedule. I hope to see you there!
Beaded Bib – day 241
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!
