I have been making paper beads from scrapbook paper.

Linda Jo those beads are fantastic...imagine that jewelry can be made with scrapbook paper.
well done

Terrie, the Easter boxes are darling!

Linda JO, those turned out great. My wrist size is 5 1/2" in case you would need to know that.

My big kids all have birthdays coming up so it's almost time for the annual Birthday Bash. I will make one of these for each of them in different colors. This was the experimental one but it turned out to be a keeper. Thanks for a fun challenge, Elaine!

Linda Jo, those are fantastic! What a fun thing to do with paper.

Ellie, great job on the candle! Definitely a keeper.

Linda Jo, the beads turned out fantastic! Great colors too.

Ellie, what a cute candle/cake! So clever!

Cute candle cake El!!!!!

Terrie, cute and yummy! Two of my favorite things. So fun.

Linda Jo, I remember making those as a kid. But mine didn't look that elegant. What a great way to use scrapbook paper!

Ellie, those are going to be a hit at your party. So fun!

So cute Ellie....I can see why it's a keeper....well done

Linda - there was a lady at the big Christmas craft fair that was selling necklaces made of paper beads...they were expensive and people were scooping them up like crazy!

Ellie - what a wonderful birthday candle!

I've been working with Katrina's Girl Scout troop to earn their Book Badge. They had to complete 2 different binding techniques, so here are the samples I made to show them. Of course they will get to raid the "pretty" paper box, but I stuck with plain paper to make them up quickly! The blue gingham booklet has the Saddle Stitch binding and the plain white one is the Piano Hinge Binding. (I think I first saw the Piano Hinge binding when Susan showed us some of her books she had made...)
