Paper Bead Ring

Okay, so, this friend of mine (don't worry Jennie, I won't mention any names) suggests I make a wire wrapped ring using a paper bead. Well, I can't wire wrap to save my life, but I'll try. Um, maybe my hubby will help!
This is the result:

Pretty cool, huh? I had nothing to do with it, my hubby made it! When I asked if he'd make me another one, he ran from the room. *sigh*

Featured Seller!

I purchased this doll last year and just love it! She is just the cutest. I found her on Etsy at http://www.pocomedio.etsy.com/ Stop by and check out some of her siblings! She's shown here with a paper bead necklace I made and included lava beads. She's known as Badder Than Bad and I can see why! I made her the necklace she is wearing.
I must warn you, the descriptions are so funny, don't drink coffee while reading them! Here's another one:
This is Mean Sissy! Her description reads: She's a big sister. She hugs her little brother really, really hard. Sometimes she holds his little hand so tightly his knuckles pop. What can she say? Sometimes love hurts.
Stop by this shop! It's well worth the visit!

More Paper Beads!



I made these from scrapbook paper called "Text Message". The words are pretty cool! Almost like an eyeball bender. I really had to look at some of them to figure out what they said.

Pencil Beads



These are fun beads! I had this paper for some time and wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it, then this came to me. You can make the pencil larger by adding center pieces to the eraser and point end. These would be great as earrings, too. One side the eraser and the other side the pencil point.

Dog toys

Do you think dogs plan these things out? I swear mine have a sense of humor! I woke up to this and am just not sure what to think about it! Is the cow modest? Copping a feel? He sure has a smile on his face.
