A charming paper bead bracelet
This is such a fun bracelet to make, mixing and matching the paper beads with India Glass. I used the 10mm paper beads and just different shapes of India glass. Each bead is between bead caps and wire wrapped with a head pin and attached to a silver chain bracelet.

The bead caps are used to cover the larger than normal holes on the paper beads. The bead caps can be substituted with 4mm beads or 6/0 seed beads.
It would also be nice to add charms to this bracelet.

Red Paper Beads Braided with leather cord
This bracelet is finished with wire wrap on both ends, unlike the other leather bracelets from previous post. The red paper beads is about 8mm in size (Red Paper Bead at Aubrey’s Beads) and has big enough holes to accomodate the leather cord.

For the ends, I used magnetic clasp and non tarnish wire to wire wrap the ends of the leather.

I used a three strand finding for this project and silver spacers. I like to use this kind of spacer because tit is a good cover for the paper beads which normally has a bigger hole.

This would also look good as a necklace, it doesn’t have to be three strand, a single strand is just as pretty.

I used clam tips to secure the ends and finished it off with the magnetic closure for convenience. This is a bracelet is meant to last longer than the elastic counterpart.
