1393 Paper Beads Necklace
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!
A New Twist on the Spiral Stitch
If you are new at beading or jewelry making and is looking for a project that is EASY, enjoyable and the result REWARDING! Then, you should try this very simple stitch-the Spiral Stitch. I made one before, using seed beads and crystals and remember the many compliments I got. This time, I made this Spiral Necklace with extra small paper beads. I love the fact that I am wearing something recycled from magazines and each individually hand rolled by Philippine women. Not that it matters who are making it, just the fact that someone took the time to do it.
Even though this is a fairly simple project, the little details like; what to do when you run out of thread and how to attached the clasp and finish the necklace, takes time, and can only be explained best in a full length video. Here’s the preview anyway…
The kit will include all the materials needed: needle, fireline thread, clasp and many, many, many extra small paper beads 🙂
It is similar to the bead rope crochet, although, it is more flexible but has the bead encrusted effect.
Here it is on my neck!
It looks good on every one, don’t you think?
Another day of taking the ordinary to extraordinary!
