Baby Sea Anemone Ring
The ring blank that I used for this ring is different than the single loop or the three loop findings I used for the Sea Anemone Ring. This ring finding has 7 loops and what I did is put two paper bead dangles on each loop. I used the small round paper beads and the result was a baby sea anemone ring.
Each of the paper bead and silver heart charm were wire wrapped to the loops of the ring finding
This is such a fun ring to make, do not limit your imagination, use different size of paper beads, dangle some charms…..
I wire wrapped a 24 gauge wire at the base to hold up the paper bead dangles or you can leave it free to move around, it depends on the kind of look you want
Experiment with the many cool things that you can do with paper beads, I think possibilities are endless
Ready For Gift Giving
Looking for inexpensive presents that are at the same time thoughtful? Why not give paper beads? They are very popular nowadays, and any of your friends or family will surely appreciate something that is all hand made by you. I am lucky to have a scrap booking store right next to me and they always have some clever ideas on how to make gift bags and little envelopes. So I am sharing this with you and what I call wordy beads.
These are hand selected magazine pages made into paper beads with the words still visible on them after they have been rolled.
Here’s step by step how-to on the envelope:
1st, you take a double sided square paper 8 x 8 or 12 x12 depending on how small or big you want your envelope to be. In this photo I am using a scrap booking paper, cut down to 8 x 8 square.
2nd step, you will take one corner of the paper and fold it in half forming a triangle.
3rd step, you will take the two sides and overlap it in the center make sure you crease them really well.
4th step, take the flap down and glue it down or apply decorative tape.
You could also use glue dots and embellish the flap if you want to.
Last Step, fill up it up with hand made paper beads or paper beads jewelry
Simple yet Beautiful!
Home-Dec With Paper Beads
We have this boring looking lamp that I got from Ross that is very inexpensive. We thought to add interest a little drama to a section in your home is decorate it with paper beads. It is more of a night lamp, not meant for reading, so use a very low watt bulb. We just used the olive shaped paper beads for this project.
From ordinary to extraordinary!
Trouble-free Tubes
These paper bead tubes are super easy, layered up is the best way to wear them. You can string several on elastic or beading wire. When you string them on elastic you can just slip them over your head or wind several times on your wrist as a bracelet.
Easy, breezy !
You can mix them with glass beads and firepolished crystals.
Somedays…wear them all as a bracelet, I’m sure they work well as head bands too.
If you do not want them on elastics, you can string them on a beading wire with magnetic closure. Wear several for a dramatic effect, kind of like Zulu Princess style 🙂
Simple is beautiful after all!
