Petite Flowers Kit
The paper bead flower pattern is so easy to make and you can put them on anything; earrings, hair clip, rings, cell phone charms, scrap book page, etc…I get asked by some of you where to get the findings for them, so I came up with this kit, to go in my etsy shop.
Here’s what’s in this kit; olive shaped paper beads (2 colors), 2 ring findings, 2 set of earring findings (post and back), E-600 glue, and 24 gauge wire in silver and gold.
Revamped With Paper Beads Vase
When I was going through my collections of old magazine for a collage project, I came across Martha Stewart article on how to make carnations with muffin cup liners and you can find the instructions here. I normally take pictures outside, so I set up a makeshift work area in the family room where it is easy for me to just go outside. I thought that the paper flowers will liven up my work area. I used one of those vases that comes when order flowers but it looked like it needed something. So, step two is dressing up the otherwise boring vase by decoupaging it with tissue paper and painting it with water color and acrylic paint. If you have been here a few times you know that I will paper bead almost anything.

Cascading Paper Beads Necklace
This is such a fun, care-free necklace that is just perfect for summer dresses and tank tops. It just falls beautifully from the neck and fills the neckline with cascading olive shaped paper beads inter connected with eye pins.

Paper Beads Jewelry Set
I made this ring for etsy awhile back with the pinkish olive shaped paper beads and it happens to be a nice match for this charm paper beads bracelet and necklace. Just showing you another example of what you can do with your paper beads, turn it into nice jewelry. When I make paper beads jewelry, I have to make sure that it something that I would be proud to wear. This set can complete a simple outfit that would make it “casual chic”.

This bracelet is just another version of the cha-cha bracelet using just a simple chain to hang the dangles on.
Here it is on the wrist
When I get the shipment from Philippines, I get these same colors in batches that comes from Avon catalogs and it is great for making sets like these.
It is a match!
I would just be weaving at everybody when I have this on, just to hear the jingles and the jangles sound that it makes.
I wish there are more than 24 hours in a day sometimes. On my “to do list” for future posts (hopefully in the next few days), is how to make different shape of paper beads from different kind of paper.
