Paper Bead Plums – day 71
I just love the purple(ish) color of the beads in this Paper Plums Necklace. Can you believe they are made out of recycled printing paper? They are quite expensive to make not your usual paper beads. They measure about 22 x 20 mm and it is a perfect bicone shape.
Fresh water pearls in plum colors seem like the perfect choice to accent these beads.
So perfect for weddings or any special occasion with a green theme to it, don’t you think?
Lovely In Leather – day 68
Tiny, tiny paper beads are strung on leather and held together with a ribbon finding. The bigger hole of the paper beads make it perfect to accommodate the thickness of the leather.
You can glue the beads to the leather if you want it to be stationary or free flowing, like what is done here.
Just another way of show casing your paper beads!
Paper And Pearls – day 67
Today’s feature is a mixture of paper beads, fresh water pearls and fire polished crystals. This style is so versatile and easy to make. It can be worn as is, long and just let it drape on your body or doubled up. It is fun to decide which way you want to wear it; you can have the pearls as the focal point or the paper beads.
We made it long so it can easily be worn as two strand. The magnetic clasp is ideal for something like this.
For this project we used the thin beading wire because pearls have really small holes. All you need: thin beading wire, crimp beads and magnetic clasp and voila!
It looks like the paper beads just fit into this mix, don’t you think?
