If you are one of our many  jewellery making customers who sells at craft fairs you are probably geeting stock ready for the bank holiday weekend. I know that you are swimming with amazing ideas for beaded jewellery but I always find it useful to see what other makers are creating. Maybe some of our jewellery making kits can inspire you to make up something different for your stall next weekend.

Big Pearl Bead Necklace

This necklace kit  uses thonging which means that you can tie it off and fasten it at any length!

Simple Big beads and pendants on thong always sell well thanks to their price points. If you are having a sale over the weekend then I hope you have a really good one.

Lovely link bead connectors

Connectors  add new dimensions to your jewellery making and I love these open hearts.

Heart Bead Connector

I think they’re really neat  as they have  hole running through from the bottom top so you can suspend another bead inside them.  These beads measure 28x21mm and are really light being silver plated acrylic.

These glass cane beads are made from in the traditional way by glass maker David Christensen and his team in America. We have some new colours on the BluestreakBeads site this weekend including a short pastel tube, useful for chunky stretch bracelets combined with some of our new cut crystal beads.
