Time to get started again. . .

I got super busy during the winter months finishing up my Masters degree in Elementary Education so I did not have time to make earrings. I am back at it as Christmas somewhat inspired me to make a few pairs of earrings for some close family members to give away as gifts. I made three pairs of earrings that will follow this post. One pair stands out the most to me as something that really excites me. I decided to make beads out of paper by simply rolling the paper into a bead. I started off using just solid colored paper but then thought that scrapbook paper would be super cute! I made the earrings out of the scrapbook paper beads and I just love how they came out!
