Well, isn’t this a beautiful necklace?
I put it on the list ;-))

Simple Wire Ring
I presented some wire rings already, I like these rings with a bead very well, too.
Luckily one has ten fingers and every finger can wear more than one ring ;-))

Plaster of Paris Beads
Cute, isn’t?
A great idea to simply colour in plaster of Paris and to cast it in ice cube moulds to get funny plaster of Paris beads.
The jewelry you get this way is more durable but not as refreshing as the ice jewelry ;-)
And if you nevertheless prefer to crochet you don’t have to colour in your plaster beads but can instead wrap them in crochet ;-))

Plastic Bag Beads
I presented already some entries to the subject plastic bags, but none made beads from.
The basic material is a ‘fabric’ from plastic, they’re making beads from just as paper beads.
I like this combination ;-)

Oglala Butterfly Necklace
Actually ruffles are not what I really like, but I find these ‘ruffle necklaces’ somehow fascinating.
I found in internet many pictures of other, equally beautiful necklaces and bracelets.
Later I found another tutorial for these and other ruffles which I used for my beaded bottle.

The tutorial is rather old and I could only find it in web archive: Oglala Butterfly

Paper Earrings
Sigh, aren’t these earrings beautiful?
My various I-really-must-try-this- and I-really-must-have-this-lists are growing further.
;-)
Addendum of June 15, 2010: I got a nice e-mail where she told me that there’s a video with the folding instructions.
Many thanks!

Beaded Bead ‘La Twins’
I find these beads most beautiful!
I will put them immediately on my Oh-how-I-want-to-make-this-list ;-))

Fabric Inchie Collage
I told before how you can make matching, but not equal paper inchies*.
Here she shows how to make wondeful fabric inchies.
It must be a lot of fun.
* What is an inchie? An Inchie is a 1″ square of art. They are made from paper or fabric and then embellished in innumerable ways (see links below).

Bead and Wire Cuff
Doesn’t this cuff look most beautiful?
I like best that there are as well empty as well ‘well filled’ spaces and that there are many little beads but this big eye-catcher as well.
She also describes how you can make it yourself – great, isn’t it?

Colourful Safety Pins Bracelet
I really like the colourful safety pins bracelet!
I find it more interesting with the safety pins than the paper bead bracelet where the paper beads are hold together from elastic alone.
Making paper beads really is simple, especially if you use a (self-made) paper beads roller.
You can even give the paper beads a slightly different form if you like to or make the beads from fabric.
However, it’ll be an interesting and beautiful item ;-)
A propos: If the style of the bracelet seems familiar look here ;-)
