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 ~
