Bev, If you search “double hole paper bead” or “flat paper bead” you will find tutes on how it’s done. You can purchase a special paper bead roller to make them, or you can use toothpicks or skewers as there are a couple of different ways to make two-hole beads.

Pretty combination of colours with the green and white beads and copper wire. 🙂

I especially like the earring design – great use of the beads and wire, and of course the lovely messy wrap headpins! I also like pieces like these earrings and bracelet that share the same colors without being too matchy.
