Seven Days Elastic Bracelet
We’ve made so many paper bead elastic bracelets because they are so easy to do and elastics just go perfectly well with paper beads because they have bigger holes that can accommodate the knot of the elastic and light enough, you barely notice they are there on your wrist. With that in mind, I made seven strands of bracelets that is so fun to be worn together. I used olive shaped paper beads and small round beads with seed beads in between.
It looks nice mixed with the small round paper beads or whatever other shapes you have made.
We chose black 6/0 seed beads to go with it, we thought it’s going to bring out the pretty color of the paper beads and some African trade beads.
We tied gross grain ribbon around it or you can just leave it as it is.
I don’t mind wearing two sets of these! Ridiculous? I don’t thinks so, it’s just another way of showing the green side of you 🙂
We will have another feature of a fellow-paper bead enthusiast and a how to on the paper bead cones, so stay tune. Thank you for stopping by.

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.

We are always looking for ways on how to interpret different beading techniques using paper beads. Kayla C, came up with this beautiful bracelet, inspired by a pendant using crystals, and you can find the pattern here.
She added a crystal rivoli in the center part of the pendant and finished it with glass pearls and crystals. It look so much like Victorian.
Here’s her other version of it with paper beads
She used small round paper beads with stripe pattern.

The Earth Awareness Paper Bead Bracelet
The following are materials needed:
- 22 gauge silver or gold non tarnished wire
- 10mm diamond shaped paper beads (aubreysbeads.com)
- tree charm or any kind of charm of choice
- magnetic clasp
How to: Double-wire wrapped each paper bead with the 22 gauge silver or gold wire, be sure to connect each bead before wire wrapping the ends. Wire wrapped the magnectic clasp to each end or use jump ring, although it is more strong if the clasp is wire wrapped. Connect the tree charm or any charm of your choice to the middle of the bracelet. Last but not least, be sure to measure the length of the bracelet before attaching the clasp and do not forget to take into consideration that the clasp will add at least 1/4-1/2 of an inch to the length of your bracelet.
The kit that includes DVD instructions on how to wire wrapped can also be purchased at www.aubreysbeads.com or click the icon to your left.
The magnetic closure makes it easy to take the bracelet off and put it on – to make the bracelet last for years you need to take it off when washing hands or doing dishes.
