These drop shape earrings can make you feel gorgeous in an instant!  It is in a tear drop shape that frames the face and you can’t helped but noticed the colorful paper beads hanging from it.  It will take you 15 minutes or less to make a pair, Kayla is going to show how, using the magical crimper.

You can watch Kayla demonstrate on how to use this very cool tool here.

What a nice way to display those paper beads!

We also made them using petite daisy spacers.

Once you make one, you cannot seem to stop!  Ideas just fly out of your head with different ways you can make these earrings.

So go ahead, make one or two or three! Sell them, give them away as gifts or one everyday to wear 🙂

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, Kayla made a bracelet made out of scrap booking paper that has a nice olive green color.  The paper Kayla chose has a nice embossed scroll designs that is just perfect for nice looking green beads.

It called for something that is bronze or antique gold accents like the inexpensive daisy spacers and toggle clasp.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Painted in pink paper beads just spells spring and summer.  I love these painted beads, they make coordinating them with other beads easier.  The colors in this Springy necklace can easily be seen in the profusion of flowers I find in my walk around our neighborhood.

We adjusted our clock this past weekend to spring forward!  Wearing something that will help you usher in spring will put that extra spring in your steps 🙂

Helloooooo Spring!

Memory Wire Bracelet – day 74

This is a simple project made up of tiny paper beads and daisy spacers, appropriate for a beginner.   I am amazed at how small these beads are, approximately 4mm in magazine colors.  We put this Memory Wire Bracelet Kit together to make it easy for you to make your own.

You can view a video tutorial I did on this kit here.

Mix it with crystals and dangling charms.  Do not limit yourself…….

Kayla and I are thinking of making memory wire kits for the bead swap what do you think?  That, or just a simple elastic bracelet.  We should be able to make the kits back to you this week.  Thank you for the enthusiastic response!

The finished Memory Wire Bracelet is also available for purchase.
