Crystals Cocktail Ring – day 83
Another cocktail ring “spiked” with crystals for those of us who cannot live without our bling 🙂 Green round paper beads are wire wrapped to a five loop ring finding and finished with swarovski crystals randomly placed in between the beads.
Swirls of greens and reds that sparkles here and there….
365 Paper Bead Creations
Kayla and I are stepping up to the challenge of creating wearable paper bead jewelry every single day in the year 2011. It seems like a daunting task but we had a lot of practice since 2008 when we started the blog. We are anticipating that paper beads will be taken to a whole new level this year and we will be seeing more people wearing them and jewelry designers incorporating paper beads into their creations. To kick off the New Year, Wearable Paper Bead Jewelry #1 is what I call New Year’s Eve Ball In Time Square because that’s what it reminds me of.
I would still be posting tutorials and videos which means that I might have two posts in some days! The piece of jewelry that is featured here will be on my etsy shop the next day available for purchase. Let’s look forward to a Happy Prosperous New Year!
My New Year Resolution? Wake up happy every morning and stay focus 🙂
Baby Sea Anemone Ring
The ring blank that I used for this ring is different than the single loop or the three loop findings I used for the Sea Anemone Ring. This ring finding has 7 loops and what I did is put two paper bead dangles on each loop. I used the small round paper beads and the result was a baby sea anemone ring.
Each of the paper bead and silver heart charm were wire wrapped to the loops of the ring finding
This is such a fun ring to make, do not limit your imagination, use different size of paper beads, dangle some charms…..
I wire wrapped a 24 gauge wire at the base to hold up the paper bead dangles or you can leave it free to move around, it depends on the kind of look you want
Experiment with the many cool things that you can do with paper beads, I think possibilities are endless
Paper Bead Cocktail Ring
What happens when you take the paper bead clusters and connect it to a ring finding? A fun, beautiful, conversation piece cocktail ring! Kayla made about 7 of the paper bead balls using the really small paper beads and some seed beads and wire wrapped them into the ring finding.
These are about 7 individual paper bead balls that are wire wrapped to the loop of the ring finding
You don’t have to use the really small paper beads, you can try and use olive shaped paper beads and I’m sure it will look pretty too.
Now, we have a set with the Paper Bead Clusters Necklace and Earrings.
Sending out hand selected paper beads to Ashley, Emily, Christine, Liz, Elim, Deina, Deb and Hilde
