I find these beads most beautiful!
I will put them immediately on my Oh-how-I-want-to-make-this-list ;-))

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 ;-)

Recycled Roses
I find these roses from fabric or paper most beautiful, even without wreath!
And it seems that they are easy to make, which does no harm! ;-))
They should look great for jewelry, too, for a ring or earring e.g.?!
If they’re not exactly your cup of tea simply look for flowers from fabric or flowers from paper ;-)

Geometric Polymer Clay Pendant
I don’t only like the geometric polymer clay pendant, but also the way the beads are connected.

Woven Silver Wire Ring
I find this ring most beautiful, it is braid from five strands of two silver wires each and the beads are attached at the ends.
Simply yet striking.
Is seems that it looks also wonderful if braided from copper wire – there was some copper wire laying around here somewhere…
;-)
By the way the braiding with five strands doesn’t seem to be very difficult.

Textile Roses
Don’t these look wonderful?
And here also it seems that the little roses are quite easy to make – although it seems that you have to be very careful.
A point on my list again ;-)

Paper Jewelry
Aren’t these wonderful paper beads? They are part of a necklace.
She has muuuch more paper jewelry, each item more beautiful than the next.

Beaded Leaves
These leaves are a kind of Peyote leaves and they are called ‘Russian St. Petersburg leaves’.
She made the tutorial because she didn’t find any – I find that great!
Ehm, I did find another tutorial (just in case) ;-)
If the leaves are called ‘Russian St. Petersburg leaves’ then I think that they are supposed to be made for the St.Petersburg necklace – that stands to reason, doesn’t it? In any case they would match wonderfully.
