THINGS TO DO WITH LEFTOVER BEADS
If you've been beading for any length of time, you have them...leftover beads!
The longer you bead, the more these odds and ends pile up. Before you know it, you've got a box or two of unsorted beads that you're not sure what to do with.
Well, we've come up with some great ideas for how you can use some of those
odds & ends up to create some unique jewelry. Enjoy!

Throw all of your beads into a pile, both big & small, & string them into a multi-strand bracelet using C-flex beading wire. Finish with a button & loop clasp.
