Making paper beads is
not just for children any more! The
beads I make are really elegant
and beautiful and some are also whimsical.
These beads are meticulously made by
hand and glazed one at a time. I have also made some of the beads with colored copy paper for a special look. From this site you will be able to purchase the beads all made to order or you can learn how to make them for yourself. Of course the beads made to order will be a select style, size and shapes you can choose from. But you will be able to have any image put on them.
Make the Beads Yourself
Allthough you may already know how to make paper beads, these beads are different and made differently. First off, you won't be using gift wrap or magazine pages. You will be using standard copy paper which is 8½" x 11" in size. The size of the beads will range from 1/4" to 1 1/4" in length and from 6mm or 8mm in diameter with an 1/8" hole. There are instructions on this section for making standard paper beads with recycled paper but the beads I will explain in great detail are special. You can put photos or your favorite clipart on them. The possibilities for what you put on your beads are only limited to your imagination. You will also learn how to embellish your paper beads.
