Little Christmas Trees Necklace

Posted on Nov 8, 2009 in Paper Bead Creations | 1 comment

Christmas is just around the corner, and this afternoon as I was cleaning out the closet in my garage where all my Christmas trimmings are kept, I found Christmas wrappers maybe from 5 years ago.  Some of them are not even big enough to wrap something.  Immediately, paper beads shaped like Christmas trees came to mind and here is the finished necklace.  I wire wrapped it into gros grain ribbon and threaded it into polyester chain.  I can almost imagine the Victorian ladies sitting in the drawing room rolling paper into paper beads.  The swarovski crystal just added a little sparkle into it.

I cut the Christmas wrapping into strips, they’re just perfect for this project because you can cut them into long strips, otherwise I would have to join two pages together to come up with 30 inch long strips of paper.
