The holidays are nearing. Are you ready? Now is a great time to get ahead of your gifting. Give the gift of handmade jewelry! We have free beading project ideas that will get you started. If you are a beginner, these videos will help you learn how to make gallery quality jewelry. Your finished pieces will look expensive and stunning, but you won't spend a lot of money. Everybody wins!
Need an elegant gift idea that will never go out of style? Kristen showed us how to make a dramatic necklace with colors from our Pantone selection. We chose four colors from Pantone 2022 Colors of Fall and Winter (Waterspout, Rose Violet, Lava Falls, and Midnight) to showcase in our beads and beading wire. Pantone is the authority on color and you can be sure these luscious tones will be fashion trending for years.
We checked out a video from Kay Goss, the owner of Star's Beads. Kay launched a new storefront - Beadorea.com - and she showed us what we could find on the site. She also showed us how to make earrings with easy to follow wire wrapping techniques. Marcie Creates showed us how to make a multi-strand bracelet using Soft Flex Metallics wire. Deb Houck, at Dahlia Designs, gave a product review of the goodies she bought from our store. And finally, Randee Brown, at Thunderhorse Descendant, showed us how to make spine tingling jewelry from our Spider Queen Design Kit (Sold Out).
