Beaded Charm!


These are a new addition to our display room. Comprised mainly of glass beads and/or stone, they can be made in most colours. Each bracelet uses at least 40 beads, all individually attached with pins and rings onto a charm bracelet. RRP $20.

Bracelets




Bracelets also have a massive scope for variety. Once again it is best to start off with an idea of what you like in terms of colour and style.
Bracelets can be made with clasps, with stretch thread, with wire wrapped or knitted, or even with thread knotted. Each technique gives a different feel for the wearer.
For example, if you like loose floaty bracelets, you could go with the clasps on tigertail. If you like firm bracelets that don’t move too much then the stretch thread may be a better option. Once again, it all comes down to personal preference!

Necklaces


Once again, there are so many ideas and designs when it comes to a necklace that if you have a rough idea on where to start then it is easier to go from there.
Sometimes it helps to think of what colours you like first. Once you have done that, think about how you like your necklaces to sit: for example do you like necklaces that sit high up near the base of your neck? Or do you prefer necklaces that hang low below the bust-line? Or maybe something in the middle?? See what I mean? Once you start designing your own necklace the possibilities become huge…..but don’t worry, you won’t be making all these decisions alone if you don’t want to!!

Earrings



First you need to decide on a style:
Do you want simple earrings? Fancy earrings? Or something in between?
If you already have a design in mind, please let me know what colours, materials and type of beads you would like!
