Eight Strand-Paper Bead Bracelet

Posted on Apr 22, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

This is another example of turning a piece of jewelry from ordinary to extraordinary with paper beads!  Kayla found this wood bracelet at our favorite shopping place – the 99 cents store,  you can wear it as it is I guess but then it looks so ordinary, you take out the wood beads and replace it with paper beads and BOOM! you have a nice piece of jewelry.  We substituted the wood beads (set aside for another project) with olive shaped paper beads and just used elastic to string them.

Here’s videos on how we did it:

Part 2

Here it is on the wrist

Can also be worn this way.

Another day of taking ordinary to extraordinary!  Thank you for visiting.

Jewelry Make-over

I am a big fan of 99 Cents Store, I love going through their jewelry and taking them apart and use the findings for paper beads!  Kayla saw this bracelet with blue plastic beads.  You can wear it as it is but again, incorporating paper beads with your jewelry will take it from ordinary to extraordinary, don’t you think?  It becomes special and a conversation piece.  Kayla painstakingly took it apart and put one inch tube paper beads instead.  Take a look!

From this (before)

Here it is with paper beads, it looks Roman don’t you think?

We used the magnetic clasp and white seed beads as accent, the paper beads Kayla chose matches the copper of the finding.

The little loops seems to be begging for us to hang a beads, we’ll see……..we bought two of these bracelets.

We will finish the Gold Paper Beads and Make it into a necklace and earring set on our next post.  Thank you for visiting.

Dainty Flower Necklace

The pendant on this necklace is from store-bought jewelry that we took apart.  We used the small olive shaped paper bead and used the rosary loop technique (please refer to an earlier post) to connect them.  This is part of our summer collection that we are working on, perfect for those lazy days…..  We have found olive shaped paper beads that’s a perfect match for this blue crystal flower pendant. 

This flower pendant is part of this bracelet, we thought it would be fun to use the links on this bracelet to make paper bead jewelry.  We have actually made 4 pieces of jewelry from this bracelet.

We have matched it with paper beads with complementing color.  The fuschia colored crystal, we put it in the back where the clasp is, so that it’s pretty front and back of the necklace.

If you have some jewelry you no longer wear, you can do a “make-over” with it like this one.
