Paper Beads Fit For A Birthday Queen

Posted on Nov 14, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 8 comments

One of my birthday presents more than a month ago came in this bag.  I couldn’t remember anymore the contents but I sure want to keep the bag and hopefully enjoy the jewelry that I make from it for years to come.  It is hard to tell how the beads look like just looking at the paper but I just love anything with dots in them.

The color is a beautiful dark pink with tiny black dots.  The paper is of heavier material like most paper bags are and semi glossy.

We thought black fire polished crystals would be a nice accent.

It would have been nice if I had little black bow charms kind of like Betsy Johnson (ish)…..

I can probably make 6 bracelets and matching necklaces with the bag and maybe earrings to match too.

  7. I love this. It is sooo cute. A paper beader looks at every bag and scrap of paper as potential material. How wide did you cut the strips at the base?

    • Hi Gisela,

      It is about 1/2 inch at the base and 14 inches long. I’m glad you like it.
