Aged vintage paper beads, handmade from salvaged paper. These are my version of recycled paper beads. I make each one by hand from used magazine, catalog, and in this case, salvaged book pages. For a more aged appearance, I stained the paper used in these beads to create a sort of rust color. I glaze them with several coats of gloss sealant for moisture resistance and durability. The difference is a bright, smooth, glass-like finish which illuminates the colors of the recycled paper underneath and extends the life of the beads.

I use my handmade paper beads in jewelry, craft, and décor projects, and am now making them available for your creative projects! You'll receive a resealable bag of 30 unique beads.

You will receive an assortment like the one pictured in images 1-4. Image 5 is for example only.

If you'd like to order quantities, or need to purchase wholesale, please contact me - I may be able to accommodate your request.
