before school starts, so she is spending the weekend with us. Doing homework and using the washing machine.
Here's what I started yesterday with a group of girlfriends. We had an art day making paper beads.
and this is the almost finished product . I think I will add some dangles. It was easy and fast to make.
a little hard to see on my pretty pink mannequin "Rylen"
For the paper beads, cut paper one inch wide by 12 inches, roll up on a toothpick and glue the last little
piece. Coat with diamond glaze, let dry. Using about 4 inches of wire and make a lop at one end, load
bead cap, spacer, colored bead and paper bead-finising with another loop to attach to the chain of your choice.
What a beautiful necklace! Can you make me one??? Can't wait to see you tonight! :-)

Hi Linden, you can make the beads with any scrap paper you like, then string them on ribbon, chain or wire. For you, it would only take about 5 beads.
