From Magazine Pages to Wearable Art
Many of you have e-mailed me on how to cut paper into triangle strips ready for making beautiful paper beads. When I started experimenting on how to make paper beads I get frustrated when I get those odd shape looking ones. One day, as I was opening a package from my sister (she ships on a regular basis paper beads that they have made), there was a small pouch tucked in containing different odd shaped paper beads. She had a note for me that these are “rejects” but she did not have the heart to throw them away. They were beautiful, there’s one that’s shaped like a bell, a Christmas tree, a bottle, an egg and they are all unique. So, even if you don’t cut a perfectly proportioned triangle don’t despair this will add character to your jewelry:) Anyway, here is a video on how to cut them into strips of triangles.
The paper beads in this necklace were made from Recycled Avon Magazines.
Really fun idea. I am totally intrigued. I really want to try this…or at least buy some!

I watched a couple of your videos and was fascinated. I don’t think I’d ever have the patience or dexterity to do this, but your beaded jewelry is beautiful.
Just stopped by from SITS to say hi; hope you’ll do the same.
that is a beautiful necklace.
