The Bead Shop (Nottm) Ltd Newsletter

Issue 24 3rd February 2010
We are back to our normal newsletter format this month after the excitement of our 10th birthday issue! We have plenty of exciting new products as well as a brand new mini project and the ever useful hint/tip.
Unique Handmade Beads & Pendants

Large Dichroic PendantFollowing the massive interest we have had in the locally made beads and pendants launched at our birthday party we have decided to add these online. Most of them are unique one offs so if you see something you like snap it up quickly before someone else does! The current range includes polymer clay beads & pendants, stampbord pendants, felt beads and dichroic glass pendants (as pictured). We will be adding new items every month and as they are all handmade the shop range will always be slightly different.
 

12mm Swarovski Pearls and New Colours

12mm Pearl Cluster Necklace

Due to popular demand we now stock a much larger 12mm size. They retain all of the benefits of the existing range, pre-strung, fade resistant, neat holes & of a similar weight to real pearls. Also new; bordeaux, platinum & mystic black.

February's Hint & Tip
 
beadfix hints and tipsEver struggled to thread beads onto your thread or cord? Fraying ends or thread too soft to go through your beads? Run your thread through some glue then cut to a point when dry. Use a fast drying adhesive such as beadfix and you've created your own instant needle!
