Crocheted Chic Choker – day 207

Posted on Sep 25, 2011 in 365 Paper Bead Creations | 1 comment

This is another version of wired paper bead flower motif in my earlier post.  It is more like a 3D flower because the petals can be adjusted to have it flat or standing up.  The extra small paper beads are so versatile in projects like this, they are easy to manipulate and they can take on any form or shape.

I also made one with a bail using the same beads, you can put it on leather or ribbon, either way it will look pretty!

Hoops are timeless, and you gotta have one in all sizes.  Well, these are not just any hoop, they are made out of tiny paper beads and to think that each bead tell a story, makes it special.  Any bead that you make from your own hands make it special.

I love the small beads for projects such as this, any design that calls for 6/0 seed beads can mostly be done with tiny round paper beads.

Aside from being a Fall Color, orange is my favaorite color; sunset, fire, citrus, balloons……The petite olive paper beads in this earrings are just the perfect orange with swirls of of beige and blues.  I had an outfit in mind when I made this, I think it’s great that you can accent any outfit you have with paper beads.
