Yesterday I put together this bracelet for my sister in law. It was her birthday and I wanted something special for her. I made some paper beads a few weeks ago and when they were finished, they made me think of her. I sealed them with a glossy modge podge. When they were dry, I made this neat bracelet.

I had enough paper beads to make a key chain dangle and I put together some simple earrings to match the bracelet.

I love how this project turned out
Next up, fabric beads! Have a great day!





So cool, Jen! I need to learn how to make paper beads. Those are the kinds of beads that you can make no matter how poor you are, huh?
I haven’t made those in years. I saw some Monday at Michaels and remembered I still have a necklace made from these. Spiegal catalogs were made of the best shiny thick paper and we loved the colorful beads that magazine made.I need to get out the mod podge and make up some again. Hmmm VBS next week, this could be a fun craft idea. Will try in the next two days to see if they could handle it.Have your children helped with this any?
