My trip to Jewelry Television was an amazing experience!  Imagine being in a candy store except they were just eye candy:)  If  you are interested in learning how to make jewelry but don’t know where to start, JTV’s Jewel School is the best online tutorials to go to.  I picked up a few strands to mix with our paper beads, this one is with the red jasper.

The coiled magazine beads make it like wearing A Piece Of Art!

Princess Necklace – day 166

Posted on Jun 25, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 6 comments

I love the idea of being the Paper Bead Princess!  Which means that I can promote paper beads and get to inspire other like minded individuals to try making them.  Diamonds and pearls are fine, but I also want to show the world that paper bead jewelry can be elegant and long lasting as well.  I am always drawn to making jewelry out of found objects must be the kid in me.  Here is one example of found objects with paper bead charm accents.

What are they?  The letter J and crown charms are from juicy couture perfume bottle.  It was just the perfect charms for me as the self proclaimed Paper Bead Princess don’t you think?

The extra small paper beads when strung has this fluid movement to it and so light just perfect for the Knotted design! Imagine these were seed beads, you have the same effect but not a heavy bulky piece.

This just lays beautifully and feels good when you put it on, light and yet eye catching!

Three’s A Charm – day 164

Posted on Jun 18, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

Making the small round beads is just as easy as making the big tube paper beads.  They are great as spacers and bracelets, the bigger holes of the paper beads make them a breeze to string using elastic.  We are going for the rustic look in the Three’s A Charm Bracelet.

Wear one, or two or three!
