Look what I got in the mail, I have never seen so many stamps! My sister ships them to me and it takes 6 weeks for me to get it via snail mail. This shipment has different stuff in it, spacers, bamboo rollers, paper rope and more paper beads!
The saucer shape beads have been quite popular [...]
My sister Joann who lives in the Philippines and does nothing all day but make paper beads (I am not kidding!), found these hand made paper at a local market. They are made out of layers of tissue paper and encased between these layers are leaves, rose petals and apparently you can just incorporate anything [...]
I have read your comments on what you do with the many paper beads that you make and I think we all agree that paper bead making can be addicting and relaxing at the same time. I had previously posted paper bead curtains made by Celina, she was one of the ladies who made paper [...]
I know that some of you is just learning to make jewelry and find that connecting beads using wire loops can be challenging. Like most things, you will get better with practice. This is how The Teeny Paper Beads by the Yard was made, I hope this will inspire you to try and make one yourself [...]
One thousand three hundred ninety three tiny round paper beads were stitched together using the spiral stitch technique. It is such a long and luxurious necklace that can be worn as is or doubled up. I am very happy with how this came up, and when I am able to afford it, I will make [...]

I am very happy with how [...]
I recently discovered Paperphine and I ordered them through her etsy shop. I finally got it the other day all the way from Austria and I just had to make something with the small round paper beads. I just love the white paper yarn, it is such a perfect backdrop for my paper beads. I [...]
One of my finds at the Pasadena Bead and Design Show were these vintage perfume bottles. I just get drawn to anything old and antique, I always imagine what kind of person owned this piece and wearing them somehow transports you to that time and place. I must have been one of those ladies in [...]
Thank you Elim, Ashley, Isabelle, Vicky, Melanie, Claire, Sara and Kathy for participating in our Black and White Bracelet Giveaway. They are made out of shredded bank statements, sensitive files that my husband shreds when he is done with them. It is fun looking through them, and now whoever is wearing this bracelet has some [...]
It’s a beautiful Monday today, hence I decided to do a Give Away! Leave me a comment telling me what it is made of, the kind of paper I used and we will pick out a winner on Wednesday.
The focal bead is black agate and the beads in between are hematite and daisy spacers.
It is [...]
