Paper to Paper Bead Idea #2
Young and old alike we love getting gifts in a little pink bag that has become quite familiar to most of us, Victoria Secret pink paper bag. So, here’s another paper to paper bead idea that coincides Breast Cancer Awareness month, in the form of a bracelet that I simply call Pink.
These pink bags come in small and big ones, you just need to open it and you can cut your triangle as long as you want them to be depending on how big you want your beads to be. The pink ice crystals and pink ribbon charm completes the whole bracelet.
Gift bags are great for paper bead making because they are glossy and beautiful colors. It is funny sometimes when I get more excited about the gift bag and the tissue picking out from it than the actual gift, and think paper beads!
The winner for the beading board using The Random Number Generator is #5 and that is Michelle (please email me your address). And, to answer the question how many paper to paper bead ideas? I don’t know, we’ll see…………:)
Paper to Paper Bead Idea #1
You would think that I have seen all that there is to see when in comes to paper beads. I find myself constantly surprised to find how many different beads you can make out of paper! How many kinds of paper are out there, thousands. I would like to take on the challenge of giving life to ordinary paper. Today, Paper to Paper Bead Idea # 1 is made out of gift wrapping paper.
I call these beads Sapphire Blue Beads because the color is very similar to the Swarovski tear drops that are sapphire blue. You can make these into a bracelet or go for the bling and incorporate crystals. I laid it down on a beading board, to see how it will look like. To me, the beading board is great for planning your design, and measuring your necklace.
It is hard to tell they are paper beads, don’t you think?
The shiny gift wrapping paper in gold would be just perfect for the season, I just found some from my stash last year.

It is fun watching colorful magazine pages turn into beads that are vibrant and saturated in colors. You don’t even have to sit there and agonize over which color would go well with each other, you put them together and somehow all the colors just blend and look like they belong……
The black rhodium plated eye pins used in connecting them, brought out the colors of the small round beads.
The bottle cap pendant makes this set casual yet feminine
