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?

  1. Thank you Janice, I hope to watch your tutorials soon 🙂
    Bye bye

  2. Hi princess, your ideas and your creations always are so original and so beautiful 🙂 but..please dear princess, could you explain us, how do you make this wonderful paper beads ball charm? Thank you in advance!

    • Hi Deh!

      I am hoping I will have time to post a video tutorial on this. The technique used in the ball charm is crochet. I strung the beads into 28 gauge wire and crochet them with simple chain stitch and form them into a ball. You can string little swarovski crystals too if you like. Thanks for visiting! Janice Mae

  3. you know I love to combine objects hétéroclytes to jewelry paper beads! so needless to say I like it …! and with the short side “luxury”, it’s perfect for our new princess!
