Japanese paper beads

A while ago I found some lovely patterned origami paper at Hobbycraft. I didn't particularly get it for making origami models as its pretty versatile for using in lots of other crafts. Anyway I've had a quick go at making paper beads with it. I've started with simple lozenge shapes and have given them a coat of varnish so they are almost ready for stringing up into either a necklace or bracelet.
