How to use your Leftover Beads -
Don’t throw anything
away!
Every beader is eventually left
with out-of-fashion beads that they can’t use. You could
try selling them at a fair in a bargain box, but in all
probability, they’ll be hard to shift. Strangely, people
can sense if the stock is stale. In these
financially-tough times, you need to consume everything.
Fortunately it
is
possible to use these odd beads to make jewellery that
will
sell.
Don’t be afraid to disassemble old jewellery. Unstring
the beads and mix them with new beads in a different
design
What to do with the Leftovers
1)
Separate all your leftover beads
into three different sizes and place each size in its
own cup.
2)
Take any bead at random from one
of the cups and lay it out for a necklace on your
beading board.
3)
Then add a bead from a different
size cup, and so on.
If the beads are small,
add a few, before a large bead – to build uniformity to
the design.
4)
After you’ve laid
out half the necklace length, look at the design and see
where you can add spacers or caps to improve the style.
In
a short time, you’ll end up with an original freeform
necklace!
Bead tablecloth weights
Table cloth
weights make great presents, especially for summer BBQs.
Take a silver bulldog clip and thread wire
through the hole. Loop it back on itself, and
slide a crimp over both pieces, pulling it tight to the
clip. Squash the crimp flat to hold the wire in place.
Thread beads onto both strands of wire and finish with a
crimp to hold the beads in place. The weights are then
clipped onto the corner of a tablecloth to prevent the
wind from blowing it off.
Blue -
Still Our Top-Selling Bead
Colour
For jewellery, blue
remains very popular. Lorraine
Cannell of The Bead Queen finds that the latest
jewellery colour trend right now is
still blue - a cool laid-back colour.
    Every
colour has psychological properties relating to the
mind, body, emotions and the balance between these.
Colour affects feeling and moods. It also reveals ones
personality as colours are use for self-expression.
   New-agers
say blue is a powerful antiseptic linked to the throat
charka - cooling inflammation, fever, and high blood
pressure. It represents peace and tranquillity, truth,
wisdom, justice, femininity and rest. The colour of the
sea and sky, and used by disciplined career workers with
a clear direction in life.
Pastel cool colours suit
summer-people with light hair, blue eyes and pale skin
best, but also look refreshing on everyone. Some of this
summer’s hottest blues are Placid Blue, Violet Tulip,
Paloma and Dazzling Blue.
   Add
some pastel and navy blue beads to your next jewellery
design. We have many semi-precious blue beads: like blue
agates, quartz, aquamarines, aventurine, amazonite,
jade, pearl, chalcedony, turquoise and lapis.
