Friendship Necklaces

Sher and Deb finished their Friendship Necklace, I love how the necklaces looks similar, they are supposed to!  Beautiful fall colors are the one thing in common and it has a little bit of everyone’s beads, how cool is that?  It makes my day, when I see other people’s work, to see growing interests in paper beads and somehow to be connected with each other no matter where you are.  Sanja, is always coming up with new ideas and I just love how she tries and incorporates different things into her paper bead jewelry.

I’m happy to see that she used the elephant charm I sent her,  she was one of those who sent a picture of her wearing her paper beads jewelry and this was the giveaway!

Aloha, from Sher, I see the salwag beads that she loves so much, now I know why, it is neutral and yet a beautiful accent to paper beads.

Friendship Beads Necklace

Posted on Oct 25, 2010 in My Paper Beads | 18 comments

Seeing all the beautiful beads in beautiful fall colors; pumpkin, spice, oranges and browns from places as far as Croatia and France each painstakingly rolled into a bead makes me think of them as Friendship Beads.  I counted seventeen participants including Ashley and Jennifer whose beads are being mailed as we speak.  I have shown you the Beads In Orbit and Memory Wire Bracelets as examples of what we can possibly make out of the trade beads.  Kayla and I look at the beads and thought that they would be displayed better in a longer necklace because of the different shapes and size of the beads.  Take a look and tell me what you think.

The necklace is about 48 inches long

You can wear it also doubled up like this

Since it is strung on jewelry elastic, you can also wind it several times on your wrist

The necklace is highlighted with seed beads, crystals, buttons and wood beads

I think your necklace would look nice with all the fall colors.  Your kit would include:  jewelry grade elastic, seed beads, wood beads, buttons and of course the paper beads from all the participants.  Play with it, have fun with it add more beads from your own collection.
