Paper Bead Ring
This ring is a very easy project but a nice way to showcase that one single paper bead that interests you. I found this one bead from a strand of paper beads, I like the stripe pattern of the bead. The one good thing about the paper bead is the large hole, perfect for hiding knots. I used .8mm elastic for this project and flower spacers for the band and bead caps for the paper bead.
What you do is cut a piece of elastic, use a bead stopper on one end and string according to this pattern: paper bead, bead cap, spacers (the number would depend on the size of your ring) and bead cap. You would then tie a square knot and put a dab of gs hypocement (glue) to make it secure. When it is dry, cut the excess elastic and pull the knot inside the bead.
