{Paper Beading} Beyond the Hour

I, NOOR, GO BEYOND EARTH HOUR: I USE SCRAP PAPER

And after being very inspired by Earth Hour yesterday, and referring back to my commitment card (posted earlier this month)… I decided to create some recycled bracelets - supporting the Earth Hour spirit!

The bracelets's beautifully vibrant and featherweight beads are made out of paper. I am therefore recycling my catalogs, magazines, newspapers, and any other form of paper that I could get my hands on!

The paper beads can be crafted into different shapes and sizes. In addition, I love to add other bead types when forming my handmade jewellery. The results are very fascinating. The possibilities are endless.

Also available are paper beading bracelet kits for your little ones: Each kit (box) includes paper beads, glass beads, elastic cord, and instructions. These could be customized as giveaways/favours for birthdays, etc… (I will be posting samples soon)
