Making Beads


I have been working on making beads. These photos show the beads unfinished. I have to wait on warm weather so I can lacquer the beads. Once coated with a few coats of lacquer they will have a hard finish. Then each bead will be hand decorated. The cost of the beads so far is zero.  They are made of paper from discarded magazines I get from our library. I have been collecting stuff to decorate them with for a long time. The only cost will be the findings for necklaces and earrings.

    Hi Tina,

    I've been on blogging hiatus for a while due to sick kids. Hope I'm back now!

    How was your holidays? I love the new blog look!

    Interesting!


    We are having a jewelry making class here on Friday for several homeschool girls. I'm looking forward to it.

    Do you have any pictures of the earrings? Sounds like a great idea.

    They're beautiful. I remember my mom making these when I was a little girl.
