Paper to Paper Bead Idea #1

Posted on Oct 17, 2010 in Paper To Paper Bead Ideas | 14 comments

You would think that I have seen all that there is to see when in comes to paper beads.  I find myself constantly surprised to find how many different beads you can make out of paper!  How many kinds of paper are out there, thousands.  I would like to take on the challenge of giving life to ordinary paper.  Today, Paper to Paper Bead Idea # 1 is made out of gift wrapping paper.

I call these beads Sapphire Blue Beads because the color is very similar to the Swarovski tear drops that are sapphire blue.  You can make these into a bracelet or go for the bling and incorporate crystals.  I laid it down on a beading board, to see how it will look like.  To me, the beading board is great for planning your design, and measuring your necklace.
