I find the idea great to simply pull different coloured threads through a chain.
Looks good, doesn’t it?

Polymer Clay Faux Pearls
Did you always wanted to have some costly pearl jewelry? A real long necklace of pearls or a luxuriant pin of pearls?
No problem, simply make your own pearls.
You don’t even have to swallow some grains of sand as mollusks have to do ;-))

Tubular Peyote Earrings
I find these earrings soo cute!
And they are great to practice the Peyote technique, just as the beads that I combined with my paper beads.
Now at last I can make matching earrings for my paper beads bracelet ;-))

Beaded Diamond-Shaped Ring
Again a nice ring, this time with a very detailed tutorial.
If I have understood the tutorial well (I haven’t tried it yet), you can make the diamond-shaped part also as pendant or earring.
Anyway, have fun stringing beads ;-)
