Make your earrings

If you're stuck for ideas, a sparkly glass bead mix is a great place to start. Separate out your chosen colours or mix and match for a fun, bright design with lots of shine. This lovely topaz mix is perfect for combining with gold findings and chain and will match your bright summer outfits all the way to your warmer autumn tones. Try threading your favourite beads onto headpins and making a pair of beaded droplet earrings! With your left over beads, you could make a simple stretch bracelet or make your beads go further by spacing them out with seed beads or metal rounds.

Make your bracelet

These crystal earrings are so easy to make! Choose from 14 swarovski square fancy stones and securely glue them into the fitted settings. The settings are perfect for using as pendants, earring charms or bracelet charms. You could even make one into a phone or bag charm with the addition of some cord or a split ring!

Try your hand at seed bead jewellery and weave a pretty primrose inspired pattern with these sunny tones! It's now even easier to make a unique patterned design with the help of a bead loom and your choice of seed beads. Get your loom ready and draw out the pattern you'd like to sew. If you've never used a loom before, we recommend starting with the Little Ricky Beading Loom! Click the button below to find out more and watch a short tutorial on how to use the loom!
