The Great Bead Extravaganza Midwinter Market 2025 was last weekend. TGBE is an online bead show. There are tons of sales. There are demonstrations and new product launches. There are exciting giveaways and so much more! We had an amazing time opening the Arctic Circle jewelry making kit that we created for the event. Kristen showed us how to make an embroidered snowflake that can be turned into a pendant, earrings, or an ornament. We also opened and created a necklace with our All That Glitters kit that we designed for New Years. Did you join us for the fun? If not, get ready for an Arctic Blast of creativity!

TGBE Midwinter Market 2025: Arctic Circle Embroidery & New Year's Necklace
Midwinter Market 2025 Presentation - Beaded Embroidery & Necklace
Our TGBE Midwinter Market 2025 Arctic Circle Design Kit was a frosty collection of winter themed beading supplies. Our staff carefully considers everything that goes into a new kit. We brainstorm an idea and a colorway. And then we add a stunning collection of beads and components. Each kit is designed to make a bunch of jewelry with limited tools. Most kits can be finished with crimping pliers and cutters.
We design our kits so they are simple enough for a beginner but we add challenging elements to make each kit experience exciting for a pro. In this kit, we included Beadwork items to make it memorable. Work outside your comfort zone and make jewelry with products you might not have come across on a shopping trip. We included a beading needle, beading thread, and a mini embroidery hoop.
Kristen designed a lovely snowflake with her embroidery hoop. Her snowflake was so cute. And this was a new experience for her. We can't wait to see what else she makes!
Sara wanted to show off the design kit we launched for the new year. Our All That Glitters Kit is an opulent mix of New Year's Eve themed beads. This kit is full of gold color and shimmering crystal bling. This collection is perfect for an elegant night of champagne toasts and looking to a bright future.
Sara designed a stunning necklace with her beads. She loves to show her wire. You don't need to hide the wire on your jewelry when it is a vibrant color. She used our Pro Econoflex in gold color. This wire complements the gold beads and crystal and looks amazing by itself. Create an illusion style design or use a color wire in translucent beads to make them POP!
