Gisela’s Paper Beads

Posted on Aug 18, 2011 in My Paper Beads | 6 comments

Gisela is one paper bead fan who perfected the art of making paper beads.  I just love and admire her work, she knows which paper to use and how to get the desired color from the magazine pages or whatever kind of paper she is using to the finished bead.  You will be inspired by what you see here:)

These are barrel type beads with large holes perfect for leather cords.

  4. Thank you Deb and Manou for the lovely compliments. Like everone here I just love making paper beads. It gives me a real sense of satisfaction to take paper that would end up in the landfill and give it new life. I have Janice to thank for starting to add painting beads/paper to the possibilities. Until then I had never done that. Thank you all and have a good weekend.

    bisous,Manou.
