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.
