Wow! It’s been over a month since I updated this blog…..and the reason is that we have been moving to a lovely new business unit with tons more space for all of our fabulous beads and jewellery making kit!

There was so much to do getting it ready and moving all of our millions of beads that we’ve had little time for other stuff but I am back now and have just put some new stock on the site. There will be lots more coming on over the next few weeks. It’s been building up here waiting for our great big new space to be ready.

Pictures to follow very soon.

Have a great weekend everyone

Big Bead Ideas for Christmas number 3

Beaded Decorations………………my idea for hanging beads on a tree is hardly new but I have in mind a really mini tree, maybe just a little fir twig adorned with stardust beads. We sell them in several sparkly sizes

Sparkly stardust beads

and they come in gold & siver. If you are feeling lavish we also stock sterling silver stardust beads in 3,4 & 6 mm

There are plenty of beads that would add a bit of festive decoration to crackers, cards and gifts. I like the red blown heart beads for adding the finishing touch to a bit of seasonal wrapping.

Big Bead Ideas for Christmas Number Two

Stocking Fillers……we all love the feel of a crackly stocking on Christmas morning. Adda bit of glitz and glam to the ones you are filling by popping in some sparkly crystal earrings. You can make them for very little money with swarovski crystal pendants and some simple earwires.

swarovski crystal Butterfly Beads

Try these Swarovski butterflies from around 45 pence each. Use just one for a delicate pendant or a phone charm.

Big Bead ideas for Christmas Number One

November 27, 2009 at 9:29 pm | bluestreak beads, jewellery chains, jewellery making

How about making a special necklace for a good friend instead of buying one from the cheap lightweight shiny mass-produced stuff available in the mega stores.

Here is an easy recipe for a pandora bead necklace that anyone can make up from a snake chain and a collection of beads and little bells.

Pandora Style Necklace

I have made this one from pale green and red glass pandora stylebeads mixed in with some diamante spacers and simple bells. The snake chain necklace is 2.1 mm thick and closes with a lobster clasp.
