Handmade Paper Bead Bracelet


Handmade Paper Bead Bracelet

I made these beads myself . The bracelet is 8 inches long, with silvertone clasp and pastel purple czech glass beads. The colors are very light pink, purple, yellow and white.

There are all sizes, shapes and colors of handmade beads. Some are made with printer paper, magazine pages, wrapping paper, acrylic paints, crayons, map pencils, colored markers, tacky glue, white craft glue, decoupage glue and clear top coat fingernail polish.

There are 3 coats to hold them together and for protection: 1st coat is tacky glue or white craft glue, 2nd coat is decoupage glue and 3rd coat is clear top coat of fingernail polish.



*fyi ~ it would not be a good idea to get the beads wet ~

Repurposed Glass Beer Bottle "NO WAY"

This bottle can be used as a candle or incense holder. Put some aquarium gravel, sand, rice, beans or small rocks to weigh it down and sit the bottle on a plate or saucer.
Always use caution with candles or incense. Put them on a non flammable surface and keep away from children and pets. It is also better to place them away from a/c vents and fans.
Bottle only*
32 oz bottle, no cap.
Please take time to look at all the pictures. I try to take shots from every angle and close up.
I use Plaid Royal Coat Decoupage glue for the first coat and Bulls Eye Shellac, which is non-toxic after it is dry and there is no odor.
