Jewelry made from paper beads is a paper craft that is quite popular today. The art of paper bead crafting, however, has been practiced since the Victorian age. Women would gather together and make paper beads from leftover wallpaper. Their craft techniques were quite simple.

Today people craft paper beads primarily to make jewelry, which can be surprisingly elegant and beautiful.
