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.

Paper Beaded Flipflops

Summer is around the corner and it is time again for pretty pedicures and flip flops.  This is such a fun project, easy and no beading experience required.  I used the olive shaped paper beads for this project, some seed beads and 28 gauge craft wire.
