Most of you know by now how much I love the fiber bundles. Sometimes, it’s very hard for me to separate the fibers, and this is one of those times. After I had the bundle untwisted, I layed it on my art table and walked away for a few minutes. When I came back, for some reason, it looked like the perfect size for a necklace. Since I really didn’t want to untie the fibers to string beads, I had to figure out some other way to add embellishments. I had recently seen some handmade paper beads, and decided they would be perfect, because I could wrap the paper around the fibers to make the beads. By cutting long triangular pieces of coordinating paper approximately 4-6 inches, I started wrapping the the paper around the fibers. Starting with the widest part of the paper, I made one complete wrap before I started gluing the paper. This would ensure no glue got on the fibers, and the beads could move freely. And, if you change your mind later, they can easily be removed. To get a “bead” look to the paper, cover with one coat of Glossy accents. You can also add glitter or rhinestones, or anything to add a little sparkle. Add a bead at the center bottom, and it will be a great base for a dangle. This is truly a beginner project, but has a lot of impact. Let me see what you can come up with.
