Our Beltane Festival Bead Strand is inspired by our Beltane Festival Beading Design Challenge Kit but it is not included in the kit. You can find this bead strand on our website, exclusively.

Celebrate renewal and abundance with our Beltane Festival jewelry making kit! The Beltane (bright fire) Festival is an ancient Gaelic celebration that marks the midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. It heralds the warming days and the blossoming of fertile crops. Maypoles are erected and adorned with ribbons and flowers, signifying a unity of masculine and feminine energy. Bonfires are lit and celebrants dance in the cleansing smoke. Floral crowns are worn to welcome the blooming flowers. The May Queen and Green Man are honored as symbolic manifestations of harmony, fertility, and health. Once performed high upon Arthur’s Seat, above Edinburgh, the world’s largest Beltane Festival is now observed on April 30th - May 1st, on Calton Hill, inside the city. It draws thousands of people and welcomes secular and religious spectators. Embrace the creative energy of rebirth with this collection of beading supplies!
