Zebras In Pink Earrings-day 4

Posted on Jan 4, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 5 comments

Last year I was obsessed with drawing petite doll faces when I joined Suzi Blu‘s Petite Dolls Class.  You know how you do something in excess and just get burn out?  That’s what happened with me but I did three dolls and one of them is the inspiration for this earrings.

I love doing the zebra prints because they are so simple to do!

A Bunch Of Olives

Posted on Sep 7, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

The tiny version of the big paper bead tubes resembles a lot of things.  They can look like shells, wood beads, rice beads, but I like to call them olives.  They are not only great for jewelry making but also very easy to make.  To make the olive shaped paper beads you need to cut the paper 1/2 inch by the base and probably 8-12 inch in length depending on the kind of paper you are using.  These Bunch Of Olives Earrings are made the same way as the Paper Beads Cluster Set, the only difference is that here, the olive shaped beads are used instead of the small round beads.

Here’s is the video tutorial on the clustered bead balls, these are made the same way.

Each individual olive bead is strung into a head pin with a simple rosary loop at the end

I made 18 olive dangles for each earring, a total of 36 olives or one strand.

I think it will also be pretty if you string more than 18 olive dangles for a different look.

Possibilities are endless…….

Earrings for Every Day

Posted on Jun 7, 2010 in Paper Bead Creations | 2 comments

I don’t feel “put together” when I am not wearing a pair of earrings.  Do you feel the same way?  Like, you’re missing something.  I love wearing paper beads  earrings because they are so lightweight and colorful.  Now that the weather is getting warmer I thought how nice it is to just put one of these Every Day Earrings on and you instantly feel that somehow you made a difference in someone’s life……..

The earrings are very simple to make, just the very basic technique of connecting them with a wire loop.  The beads I used for all the earrings are the extra small olive shape paper beads and small round paper beads.
