Paper Bead Necklace
These are paper bead necklaces made with magazine, enamel, cotton string, and other beads. I roll and glue strips of magazine then double seal them so they will stand the test of time. No two beads are exactly alike I then incorporate other beads of all kinds and/or wire-wrapped stones (wrapped by my husband) in a braided and macrame necklace. Each piece takes between three and six hours to make in my home studio. I made these pieces for the same reason I make all of my crafts: I love to work with paper, and I hate to see anything go to waste, especially if I know it has real potential to be beautiful.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I make upcycled coasters, beads, boxes, notebooks, bookmarks, vases, bowls, and whatever else peaks my interest. If you can modify it with paper, I'm interested. I craft mostly out of magazine and glue, but I also use salvaged, thrifted and gifted materials with a few items being purchased new (e.g. paper, tape, rivets, thread). Items are sealed, covered, or laminated to ensure durability.
When you buy upcycled goods, you get beautiful, unique products while supporting a movement to keep usable items out of the landfills and in our homes.
