I was at Target recently and I purchased a big jar of pop-together beads. Essentially, they're for little kids. You can make bracelets and rings and necklaces simply by "popping" the beads together. When I took them home and put them together they were a bit too plastic looking for my tastes.
So, I pulled out the spray paint and sprayed them white and then red and then black, flipping them around for each coat of spray paint.
Once they had dried, I assembled them into long strands.
Because the beads pop together, you can wear these strands multiple ways:
My favorite, is with attitude! How about you?
Thanks for stopping by!
Not sure I like them, but your imagination and creativity never cease to amaze!!

I love these! Such a fun idea. I do something similar with boring plastic buttons and alcohol inks. Sometimes you just have to improve things! 🙂

Only you could make such creative jewelry with kid beads from Target.
With attitude is my fav pic of you in this set, but single strand is the piece that I would most wear myself. Enjoy!

You are so creative! I will be revealing my age, but when I was in elementary school we had “pop-it” beads. They were all the same sphere shape but different colors. I’ll have to look for these in Target!!

Love your creativity and willingness to try this or that – it’s a lesson I’m grateful to be reminded of by you! Thanks! I do remember the first generation of these when I was a kid – so fun. Wear with attitude indeed!

These are really great and made using “pop beads”!!! That’s a blast from my past. One question – does the spray paint chip off? Thanks for the great idea, Julie!

Pop Beads were all the rage when I was in 7th grade (1954-5)! Interesting to see them back again!

Good morning Julie,
Love your beads you did a great job with spray painting them.
I like picture 3. They look awesome on you.
I want to tell you I watch yesterday your presentations on HSN with the Brother Scan N cut2. I loved the price that was offered with the bundle. You did an awesome job and looked great.
What I really liked was when you reproduced the card that Sara Davies aired in her showing.
Funny thing I watch her show at midnight saw that card and went to be thinking how I could reproduce that as well.
When you came on at the 3pm showing with the card I almost died. I guess sometimes we must be of the same thought.
I loved it and hope you can post on your utube how to do it.
You blew me away with that show.
I tried to call in but sorry I was to late and you where getting ready to finish it up. By time I got in the next vendor was coming on so I hung up.
With that all said I loved loved the shows and I wish they HSN would show the 3pm or 11 pm showing video. The have the one that you are on at 6am.
Great Job hope for a sell out.
Happy Wednesday,
Fawna

I haven’t thought of pop beads since I had to get rid of all them because the six year old force fed them to the three year old! The joys of parenthood.

Just let me say that these are not the pop beads that I got when I was a kid! These have a lot more style. Ours were just round, plastic and very brightly colored. 😀 But your idea to spray paint them was very creative; wouldn’t have thought of that. And yes, love the ‘with attitude’ photo best.

I still own a set of pop beads from the 50s. They’re bright blue and feel almost rubbery. For some reason I could never throw them away nor would I ever wear them again. I love what you did the Target beads. Your blog is always an inspiration.
