Easy Elastics-Glass Rings

Posted on Aug 19, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

If you want instant gratification, Paper Bead Elastic Bracelets are a a breeze to make.  If you are not into wire wrapping or any other form of  beading technique, but have the eye for color, stringing your paper beads in jewelry makers’ elastic gives your work a finished look.  I love these colored glass rings in big and small sizes because they are somehow made for my big round paper beads and diamond shaped paper beads for the smaller rings.

This looks elegant on the wrist.

The smaller glass rings were just perfect for the diamond shaped paper beads – which are actually made by gluing to strips of triangle pieces together.

I would love to wear several of these at the same time.

These big chunky paper beads are so much fun, you could still see the words in some of the beads.  I suggest to use a .7 or .8mm elastic for these projects.
