Paper Beads

The Rock Candy Paper Bead bracelets I have on etsy is one of my best selling items and I get a lot of emails asking me for a less expensive alternative for the crystals that are used.  In one of my trips to the local thrift store I found some fun necklaces that are made of lucite and plastic beads and one of them is made of pink plastic bead with a nugget shape to it.  I don’t think I want to wear the necklace by itself, so I took it apart and mix it with paper beads to give it “character”.  I love the finished bracelets, they look chunky but light.

I picked this one.

Tah dah!

Looks good enough to eat.

I would like to give this away to someone you know whose life is touched by breast cancer.  All you have to do is drop me a comment (who is it for) or  email me.  The winner will be announced on Wednesday.
