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 ;-))

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 ;-))

Every time I see these bracelets I’m thrilled
I didn’t like her ‘old ones’ very much, where she simply glued paper on the cardboard tubes because I find them too massive, but I find the ones with the opening really great!
I still must have such cardboard tubes somewhere, then I only need some wall paper rests or other colourful paper.
Perhaps the paper from the travel brochure? ;-)

I always liked such tile beads and I find that the colourful tile beads from polymer clay look really good.
Sigh.

Isn’t this a great idea to put a knitted lace into a frame to hold jewelry?
In the instruction you can also find a frame with a nice crochet lace.
By the way: actually you can use bought lace, too, can’t you? It must only be a little robust.
If you don’t like it, check again the other jewelry holders in the links below ;-)

When you’ve made yourself some beautiful paper beads or plastic bag beads, you may want to make a necklace with them.
And if you don’t have a closure at hand use simply this sliding knots necklace.
If you don’t like it, you can always more or less quick make a closure yourself ;-)

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 ;-)

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

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!

What a potholder!
It looks as if it wasn’t very hard to make it, but it looks definitely different from others ;-))
I can imagine it as a piece of jewelry or pin as well when crocheted with very fine thread.
