A charming paper bead bracelet

Posted on Jun 10, 2009 in Paper Bead Creations | Comments Off on A charming paper bead bracelet

This is such a fun bracelet to make, mixing and matching the paper beads with India Glass.  I used the 10mm paper beads and just different shapes of India glass.  Each bead is between bead caps and wire wrapped with a head pin and attached to a silver chain bracelet.

The bead caps are used to cover the larger than normal holes on the paper beads.  The bead caps can be substituted with 4mm beads or 6/0 seed beads.A charming paper bead bracelet

Pistachio in Paper Beads Bracelet

I am always fascinated by the colors and patterns that come out of the finished paper bead, no two are alike.  When I saw these paper bead, pistachio came to my mind.  I mixed it with peridot chips, and it came out pretty, no calories, you know how it’s hard to stop eating the real thing?  These olive shaped paper beads are great for bracelets.

I used a three strand finding for this project and silver spacers.  I like to use this kind of spacer because tit is a good cover for the paper beads which normally has a bigger hole.

This would also look good as a necklace, it doesn’t have to be three strand, a single strand is just as pretty.
