Paper can be a versatile and fun medium for making jewelry. Lightweight, inexpensive, and easy to manipulate, paper can be altered into faux metal and other beautiful finishes.

I use EGC’s recycled chipboard die cuts for my base pieces.There are eleven different sets, offering a good selection of shapes and sizes. The faux metal is achieved using EGC’s metallic Acrylic Paints, and Glass Glintz put the finishing touch on this fabulous project.

To help you get started making your own paper jewelry creations, download directions for this Faux Metal Pendant Project. I’ve also put together some basic tips, as well as a handy how-to of my favorite paper finishes.
