I first made paper bead jewellry in elementary school. I have made many necklaces and bracelets since then for gifts. My daughter paid me 30 cents to make this one for her teacher who has been away battling cancer. She is now coming back to school so Brookey gave me all her money to make it to give to her. And she had to make sure she was purchasing packaging to go with it too!
Here is the finished necklace.
I saved a scrap of the patterned paper I used for the necklace to use on the packaging. I came up with a quick little template for this. I used a corner rounder punch for a scalloped egde, added the patterned paper, stamped the sentiment in Ridinghood Red ink, and then added the ribbon through holes I puched out.
I put the necklace in a little craft baggie and used double sided tape to adhere the bag to the inside. Simple gift, but time consuming, but fun! :)

Great! I love the necklace. This would make a very good present. It might time consuming to make but it's worth it all.
