DIY: Wearable words ...

When I was looking around for tutorials on making paper beads, I found some really striking "book beads" and accessories, now collected in this post.  I understand (after all the browsing) that you can make really durable "beads" easily ... very little time, skill or money required.  Woohoo!  Who doesn't need more jewelery?  (UPDATE 6/12: See the follow up post for more wordy accessories)

First, this wonderful necklace.  If you choose your words carefully, you could really make a statement with this one! (you are allowed to roll your eyes now.)  Thanks to Mandipidy for the how-to. (more after the jump!)
