It's All about the BEADS

Again... another great time with a great challenge
to create something a little creative
and a lot of fun...
 
I have had a lot of major changes in my life over the past few weeks here... and I am so very glad that I have had the ability to now share with you this project. 
I started quite a few project for this... and finally came down to create this... as I felt it would be something that more of you might TRY, on your own. 

A little background....  into that idea. 
 
I had on my schedule to work on my quilt...
but I re-arranged the style of the quilt...
and then my husband and I sat down to put the final
touches to it...
and realized that the place I was going to hang it,
that this would not work...
I have French doors in my studio and wanted to use the quilt
to help keep out the cold winter weather...
 
so....
a few tears and
back to the drawing board...
 
so I came up with something that I think everyone can do..
and it is a lot of fun to create this...
and hopefully a lot of you will make one of these...
 
it is PAPER BEADS...
 
Oh I know ... that is kids stuff...
I made my first paper beads when I was a kid...
sure you did too...
but these are a little bit different...
 
Think of them as CHARMS...
 
Charming CHARMS...
 
Well I have again built another blog
to take you thru the processes of making a
CHARMING NECKLACE... 
 
Step by step you will find
all kinds of ways to create
the PAPER BEAD
with ease and fun...   
 

 
No two beads are alike...
that is why I love these beads..
 

 
This is what I am calling a 'DANGLE' that you will be building...
it is actually two paper beads...  you will be able to create this after watching this..
 

 
When all the DANGLES are in place...
you will need to make the necklace actually a necklace...

 
After the necklace is a necklace...
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
And now...
as you totally expected from me...
another necklace... 
right??
 
Here it is...
 


 
 
I so hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and will make a few necklaces as presents for people you LOVE...
they will love them...
 and you will have a ton of fun creating them too... 
 
Hope you enjoy the season and send love to all of YOU
 
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
