My Paper Beads – Jane Mc Bride
One of the things I love to do is sharing the work of other paper bead fanatic. Today, we have Jane McBride, she loves experimenting with them and here is the outcome:
Paper Beads cut with pinking shears
The look like pineapples don’t you think? I also love the way Jane made earrings out of the saucer shape beads, very designer like 🙂 What a neat idea!
Jane made this saucer or button bead with a small opening for the jump ring to go in, how ingenious! I would love to try this.
If you want to share your work please email me in the Contact Us link, we would love to see it.

Beaded Neck Wire – day 123
When you get a batch of the same issue old magazines or catalogs you will be able to make beads that are similar in pattern and color and then, you can make a set of necklace and bracelet pretty much like this one.
I used small button beads as the focal beads for the necklace.
Paper Bead Ball-day 115
This is a fun project although a lot of work went into it. You ask, what is it for? Well, imagine your desk without it, now imagine it with the ball on top of it. You get compliments because it is a true conversation piece!
….and it is a real ball! I actually played it with it:)
I was looking at the boring twig balls and decided to dress it up with paper beads.
