Wouldn’t it be nice to have custom-made jewelry pieces to match any outfit in your wardrobe? Sounds expensive, but by creating one of a kind pieces with paper (yes paper!) you can have designer-inspired earrings, bracelets, and necklaces for every outfit. As a scrapbooker, I sometimes hoard pieces of paper because they’re so pretty, and using those papers to create DIY paper beads and stones lets you put that stash to good use and gives you an excuse to show your paper craft skills off in a new and creative way!
One of the easiest paper craft ideas for DIY jewelry is to create paper beads. You can use any kind of paper to make DIY beads, so try searching your recycling bin for junk mail and newspapers to create up-cycled beads. Even cereal boxes can be used for materials! If you’re looking for a vintage-look to your paper crafts, then you can use vintage maps and pages from books. Pick one (or two!) of these tutorials to get you started.
