Like Blue Caterpillar

Posted on Sep 19, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 4 comments

The round blue paper beads that almost look like blue marbles are strung with opalescent 11/0 seed beads attached to a three loop finding.  When I open it and lay it flat it reminds me of a blue caterpillar which I think can only be found on children books.

These chunky round beads are about 14 mm in size.

It is a very simple ladder stitch, as you can see the strand of white seed beads are woven through the blue beads.

For a simpler design, you could just string it on elastic with silver spacers in between.
