Everyday Hoops – day 205
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.
I love using the small beads in flowers, which is going to be my next post:)
Clustered Paper Beads Bracelet
Day 16th of 365 Paper Bead Creations! I love the look of these clustered paper beads using 14mm blank findings, they look like little fruit desserts. I used diamond glaze to hold them all together and 5mm round paper beads, the more colors the better.
Let me show you how……
This is a good way to display your small paper beads.
I think this will even look better if you add little seed beads to the mix.
All my tutorials use paper beads because this is a blog about paper beads after all, but you can substitute paper beads with other beads that you have.

One thousand three hundred ninety three tiny round paper beads were stitched together using the spiral stitch technique. It is such a long and luxurious necklace that can be worn as is or doubled up. I am very happy with how this came up, and when I am able to afford it, I will make one for myself 🙂
I made a button closure for it so you can wind it twice for a more formal look.
It is made of paper beads that’s true but this piece can last and will be enjoyed for years and years to come.
Another extraordinary day!
Five Strand Paper Beads and Gemstones Bracelet
Gem stones and paper beads, who would think they would look good together? I look at these tiny round paper beads and they almost look like little shells or wood beads. I love mixing them with crystals, pearls and gem stones because they make a certain piece of jewelry special. I could wear pearls or crystals by themselves but that makes it ordinary, add paper beads with it and it becomes a conversation piece. You can purchase really inexpensive gemstone chips (they are leftovers from cutting the stone), I love just taking “rejects” like that and turn them into something beautiful. My inspiration is this five strand garnet bracelet.
My “ingredients” for the five strand paper bead and gem stone bracelets:
My main “ingredient” is 5-6mm round paper beads
The other materials you need are: 5 strand clasp, medium stringing material and crimps. Then, just string and crimp to desired length.
Here it is on the wrist.
If I were to choose between these two, I would picked out the one with paper beads, how about you? I would certainly love your feed back.
Here it is close-up. If you are interested in making the tiny round beads your self, it is easy to do with the metal roller.
I hope this have inspired you today.
