Jingle, Jangle

If you have the patience to make really small paper beads, then this project is for you 🙂  Each of the tiny paper beads, about 4-5mm in size is put through a jump ring then connected to the chain to make these beautiful set that jingles and jangles when you wear them.

I tried it on, and the bead feels so nice to the touch you cannot help but play with them.

Paper Bead Cocktail Ring

Posted on Aug 6, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

What happens when you take the paper bead clusters and connect it to a ring finding?  A fun, beautiful, conversation piece cocktail ring!  Kayla made about 7 of the paper bead balls using the really small paper beads and some seed beads and wire wrapped them into the ring finding.

These are about 7 individual paper bead balls that are wire wrapped to the loop of the ring finding

You don’t have to use the really small paper beads, you can try and use olive shaped paper beads and I’m sure it will look pretty too.

Paper Bead Clusters

Posted on Aug 5, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

I think the word cluster is a more appropriate name for these paper bead balls, because it is a cluster of tiny paper beads and seed beads all bunched up together to form kind of a ball.  We are coming up with a ring to go with it, we’ll see how that will turn up, in the meantime here’s the Paper Bead Clusters Necklace and Earrings:

This will look pretty all year round

If you  wind it on your wrist three times it will look like this or you can make a bracelet as well
