After playing and experimenting with my handcrafted beads for several months, things have finally come together. It was back in April when I last shared my huge bead collection that I had been making over the years -- some go as far back as 20 years. I did manage to find some more bins with beads and I picked out a few favorites for finishing off and will get to the rest of them later.
So here are a few things I have been making with them:
 |
| Beaded Bar Pendants, Purse Charms or for Key Rings |
 |
| Beaded Bar Purse Charms . . . or |
 |
| Wear as a Necklace! |
I have discovered these stainless steel bars where the top and bottom screw off and you can add your beads to. The above photos show a sample of how I used them. I now have plenty of beaded bars in stock and are available in my online store (click on the photo below for the link). If you haven't already, don't forget to sign up for our newsletter as I will be sharing a coupon code for a sale on supplies as well as my tutorials very soon!

I also found these pens to add my beads to: From top to bottom: a Stylus/Pen, Twist Pen, and a Mechanical Pencil. I will have some of these listed in my online store in the next day or so. I only have a limited amount and will need to order more so if you are interested in any of these and in preferred colors, just send me a message (through my website) or e-mail me directly.
These beaded items have been a lot of fun to create. It took me a while to figure out how I wanted the beads to fit and once that was worked out, everything else just clicked.
This is also my tutorial on how to make your own Rondelle Spacer Beads (click on the photo for the link). I have it on sale (until the end of the week) for 25% off in case this inspires you and you would like to get a jumpstart on things.
