Hi Ladies,
Where do you buy the beads and such you use to make your designs?
Thanks
We buy most of our beads at Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, and Joann. When we can get to a bead show, we love to browse and buy special things there. We also shop at local bead shops! Hope that helps! J&K

Recently started making bead bracelets and pendants out of pretty or unique stones I find on my property. I either paint with my many nail polishes or clear coat and i do with gel acrylic and LED light, or leave natural. Wrap them in wire and put on a cord.
Wow that is so creative Lisa! Sounds cool!
