Magazine Swirls Ring-day 121

Posted on May 2, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 6 comments

Ever since I discovered that the saucer shape beads makes great rings I have been making a few of what I call Magazine Swirls Ring.  Unlike the regular tube paper bead where you can see the pattern of the paper and some words on the bead itself, all that you see in the saucer shape bead are the colors of the sides of the paper strips.

They are beautiful in itself, and all you need to do really is glue them into a ring finding.

Or, you can jazz it up with a bunch of beads on top…..
