Product Description

By mixing relatively simple jewelry making methods with standard paper arts techniques, Altered Paper Jewelry offers paper crafters, altered art aficionados, and jewelry makers creative new ideas for creating stylish and contemporary jewelry from gorgeous paper.

 

In this book, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and other jewelry will be decorated and constructed with found paper, photos and beautiful scrapbook papers.  Beads will be fashioned from rolled paper, covered with decoupage, and molded with paper craft accessories.  Paper-like materials such as vellum, transparencies, shrink plastic and printable fabric paper will be punched, cut, shrunk and rolled into mini wearable masterpieces.  Paper will be folded into lockets, embedded into belt buckles, and glued into unique shapes, all in the pursuit of personal adornment. Illustrated step-by-step instructions and templates included.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a way to incorporate my paper stash into my jewelry designs!, May 29, 2009 By  Chel Micheline "gingerblue.com" (SW Florida) - See all my reviews I'm an avid beader and I love to make beads from polymer clay, and I'm also a scrapbooker who loves all paper crafts. For years I have been looking for a book that combines jewelry design and paper since I have such a HUGE stash of beautiful patterned paper that I've always wanted to incorporate into my jewelry designs. I also have tons of stamps and inks and paper crafting supplies on hand that I have wanted to do more with. This book is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Almost all of the "paper jewelry" books I own are more inclined towards bookbinders, metalsmiths, resin artists, or origami fans. This book is perfect for those of us who do not make our own paper or do not want to invest in complicated supplies from obscure internet sources to make something beautiful and durable. This book covers a wide range of jewelry design (necklaces, bracelets, rings, cuffs, etc.) and elements (beads, pendants, tiles, folded flowers, etc.). EVERY project in this book can be easily accomplished with items that most scrapbookers/paper crafters already have on hand or easily purchased at any local craft store: patterned paper, water-based adhesives, wire, inks, stamps, embellishments, paper glazes, shrink art, markers, etc. The jewelry designs are all simple (none require more than one page of instruction) to complete yet very tasteful, and the "feel" of each piece comes from the paper chosen to complete it. So you can take the same project and completely change it based on the paper and supplies you choose to complete it. The finished jewelry is really lovely and can be adapted for anyone's tastes. I also loved the format of the book- every thick page is in full color. For every project there is one full-page photo showing off the piece and the facing page contains the instructions. This book provides limitless inspiration and ideas. I'm really excited to get my supplies out and give these projects a whirl. Finally, a way to combine paper crafting and jewelry making, without requiring new supplies or skills. I hope there's another volume in the works... 2 of 9 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Altered Paper Jewelry: Artful Adornments from Beautiful Paper, December 26, 2008 By  Karen L.
