INTRODUCING DRIP BEADS!
Another fun bead has hit our doorstep this week.
These adorable top-drilled, Czech glass beads are approximately 5x10mm in size and have an adorable bulb shape. They are available in 12 yummy colors and are sold in strands of 25 beads.
I couldn't help myself...I had to play with these new beads as soon as I saw them. Here are a few ideas I can up with last night using the new Drip beads.
----------
PRODUCT HIGHTLIGHT: OPELON FLOSS STRETCH BEAD CORD
Make Stretchy Bracelets Fast!
Finally, the secret's out. You can churn out large quantities of stretchy bracelets and anklets fast & easy.
Here's the secret. You need TWO things: First, you need the right kind of needle, called the Big Eye Needle (these needles are so great you can even use them for bead weaving if you can't thread a needle)!
Second, you need this FIBROUS STRETCH CORD! This cord has several advantages over that clear stretch cord. 1) It doesn't get longer & lose elasticity with wear. 2) It can be put thru the right kind of needle. 3) It can be knotted and the knots are small enough to hide inside a 4mm bead!
Note: Do not use this thread with beads whose holes are so small that the needle must be forced, such as small freshwater pearls. Also, knot this cord to finish your bracelets, do not use crimps as they will fray the cord.
