Pearl And Shells Paper Bead Necklace

Posted on Feb 19, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

I finally figured out how to wire wrapped a pearl pendant in the shape of a cross.  It was quite a bit of a challenge because the holes ran diagonally instead of top to bottom.  I took apart a necklace I purchased earlier at a thrift shop that had these bead caps made our of shell. I wire wrapped each bead to each other and the bead caps are just perfect for the paper bead holes.  The paper beads I used for this necklace are small round ones and have a nice apple green color.
