Lei is a Hawaiian word for anything strung together to be worn as an adornment. The chunky paper beads in cream and reds inspired me to make this Paper Bead Lei and bracelet set to look like a yummy dessert much like one of these images I found on the internet.

Coco wood chips are strung on a beading wire with the chunky paper beads.

It also much resembled my all time favorite dessert, the banana split!

You can tell I have dessert on my mind when I made this necklace

Another day of turning the ordinary into extraordinary!

You open fashion magazines and what you see are bold and chunky jewelry. Kayla G, fell in love with the white agate and dyed Socho jade. Looking at this necklace, it would still be pretty with just the two strands of white agate and socho jade. And then again, if you want to take ordinary to extraordinary, add the Paper Beads and boom! You have transformed the necklace to something special.

In Kayla’s own words:

I made sure each strand consisted of a different shape and size to clearly show the uniqueness and beauty of each stone. The White Agate is a nugget shape, the Socho Jade is a coin shape and the Paper Beads are olive shaped.

After I was finished stranding each strand on soft flex, I twisted the strands together and connected them to an eye pin and added a bead cap.

The necklace is about 22″ in length

This is the back side of the necklace

Endless possibilities with paper beads……
