Chocolate Diamonds – day 180
Diamond Shaped Paper Beads painted a rich chocolate brown is beautifully displayed as earrings with a little wood bead as accent. I love the versatility of paper beads; magazine colors or paint it with whatever color your heart desires 🙂
Gold and chocolate makes you ready to welcome fall!
Merry Mix Necklace – day 178
I put together the Merry Mix Necklace from our Assorted Beads Bag and it came out really pretty mixed with left over beads; pearls, crystals and gem stones.
This is a very simple project using your basic wire wrap or just use rosary loops instead. Go ahead and try it, you will be very happy with the result 🙂
Pendulum Pair – day 177
Another easy breezy pair of earrings. This is a great way to display those special beads you made and you only need two! They look so pretty hanging from your ears, swinging back and forth, back and forth………
How To: Take an eye pin the length of your bead. For this pair I use a one inch eye pin, put your paper bead and do another simple loop on the other end. Open the loops and attached you chain. The whole process takes 5 minutes.
Corkscrew Earrings – day 176
Earrings are quick and simple to do and they fit everybody 🙂 If you just take one day and make a few pairs you have basically taken care of some ladies on your Christmas list.
I used 20 gauge non tarnish craft wire, did a spiral at the bottom, coiled it around a mandrel and added the small round paper beads. I put a dab of gs hypo cement to hold the paper beads in place and voila!
