Remember These?

Did you ever make these paper beads as a child? I did.


I spent an afternoon with the girls and my god daughter making some today. It was such good fun and for a child project, very successful too.



I have a had a bad shoulder for three weeks and a visit to the chiropractor has finally put knitting and crochet off limits. It is tough but what is a crafty girl to do? Inspired by the kids crafting I made these necklaces last night for birthday presents.

Happy crafting. Jo xxxx

  3. I do vaguely remember something similar from my childhood. The necklaces make lovely presents, I might have a dabble myself with some Christmas paper. Hope your shoulder feels better son x

  4. I loved making paper beads. I was a bit obsessed in the late 1980's making them with my mum / best friend!
    Hope your shoulder eases off soon ready for more crochet and sewing!

  5. Hi Jo! I have missed all of your wonderful projects, your amazing trip and summer. So sorry about that. You have had some wonderful times and I am in awe of your energy. I have to say the girls are looking so much older, especially Big Sis!
    Hugs,

  8. These are so cute, I never made these as a kid, but I wish I did! Sorry to hear about your shoulder, I hope it starts to feel better soon, try a heat pad/ hot water bottle if your muscles are sore, heat does wonders.
