We have a new shape in our acrylic bead range.
It is an irregular diamond in our cool Hawaii print. Super light ideal for making necklaces.
The big disc beads in this colourway sold out very quickly so if you want some of these you may need to snap them up quickly. For anyone waiting for the discs to come back in, we are working on it.
We aim to put new beads on the site every week, so keep popping back for a look to help inspire your jewellery making.

Some of our beadalon products which have been out of stock for a while are now back in. We stock their range of wires in several thicknesses and strand density which determines their flexibility.
The real luxury stuff is the 49 strand wire which offers amazing flex and drapes beautifully.
There is a good colour range in the 7 strand including copper, blue, red and silver.
Memory wire shears and end caps are back in stock too.

Judging by the number of orders and emails we are getting I reckon that lots of you are getting ready for christmas craft fairs or are making presents for friends and family. We would love to see photos of your bead jewellery so please feel free to send them to cathie@bluestreakbeads.co.uk
This week we have been making charm bracelets with bali silver & crystal. I am hoping to get a new design up on the site next week.
Let me know what sort of kits you would like providing on the site and I will do my best to help out with a new design.
Enjoy your weekend and don’t forget those photos of your jewellery projects. Here is one I took earlier for a magazine advert.   Cathie

For something different to do with your beads, why not try making a cocktail ring. You will need a beadable ring with premade loops to which you add any beads that you like.
We stock these adjustable ring bases in lovely sterling silver. You can buy just one for only £7.99 to make someone special a gorgeous christmas present. We like to use a mix of Swarovski and glass beads but be bold and try something different, it’s entirely up to you. If you do make one please send us a photo that we can showcase here.
