Ugandan Style Paper Bead Necklaces

Sooo...my love and the bane of my existence as of late.  They are tedious to make.  But Henry did help with these by pressing the button on the heat gun to melt the embossing powder to "set" them.
There are a lot of pics here, so bear with me...

These are the only four I have, (so far) but I can always make more and can even custom make them to be a certain color theme!

 Each of these 20" paper bead necklaces is on stretchy filament and has a magnetic clasp.  The burgandy one has a gold clasp, and the blue one has a silver clasp.  $17

 48" multi-color necklace on stretchy filament.  Can be worn long, doubled, or as bracelets. $25

60" multi-color on stretchy filament.  Can be worn long, doubled, even tripled or worn as bracelets as pictured below. $28
 (Yes, I want you to buy this.  But secretly, I kinda want one for myself.)

*My friend Cindy who adopted two lovely boys from Ethiopia tells me she got some of these necklaces for $6 in Africa.  Well, a)my cost of living is a LITTLE higher than $2/day, and b) if you can get a plane ticket for less than $25, you should.
