XOXO Paper Beads Bracelet

Posted on May 13, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 1 comment

Here is a very simple bracelet made out of olive shaped paper beads that will introduce you to basic beading technique such as: using a beading wire and crimp and attaching clasp.  Kayla C. aptly named it XOXO bracelet, would be a great gift to a friend.  Now, that I’m thinking about it, the fuscia colored olive shaped paper beads will be ideal for this project, breast cancer awareness month I think is in October and this is a neat gift idea.

Here is the video tutorial!  Materials are: 14 strand stringing wire or medium, crimp bead, olive shaped paper beads, round beads and magnetic clasp.

We also did it in what Kayla called newspaper color, so organic looking as well.

Big and Beautiful Paper Beads

Posted on May 11, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 3 comments

One of the new shapes that my sister Joann came up with is big round paper beads 14-16mm in size.  One bead is a total of 9 magazine pages spread open and tightly rolled by hand.  Even though it’s made out of paper the beads feels substantial and weighty.  I wish I could show you all the different colors, they truly look like marbles with swirls of different colors.
