Make some terrific looking beads out of unconventional (and inexpensive!) jewelry materials – paper beads that look very much like lampwork beads, beads made from fabric, wire, vinyl tubing, telephone wire casing, and more. These beads are great fun to make and can be done in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors to suit any style. When combined with commercial beads they make up into unique jewelry pieces with a look that can’t be bought. You’ll string your beads on easy-to-use Memory Wire. Make a dramatic 5 loop bracelet or two 2 1/2 loop bracelets.
