Paper beads are simple and fun to make. There are so many different types of beads you can make. Here is a sampling of the different types and how to make them:
And another one, with the history and more instructions:
I made this necklace using paper beads mixed with plastic and glass beads.
The large beads are double hole paper beads. I found this quick little video showing how to make them:
I used a print I found on the internet to cover the beads. It reminds me of turquoise. The large rectangle is also paper. I used a small cardboard rectangle and covered it with the paper.
if you look closely, you can see where I used a small rectangle of paper to cover the back.
I then made a wire twist around it to hold it together with a bead and feather decoration.
All the beads were coated with varnish to protect them, then strung together to make the necklace.
The finished product is lightweight but looks expensive.
I hope you try to make some paper beads of your own! If you do, please share your creations!
