Kumihimo Supplies
By popular demand we have started to stock Kumihimo discs, 1mm rattail cord and braided cord findings. This fascinating craft is a form of Japanese braiding, with Kumihimo meaning 'union of threads', which allows you to create beautiful braids in your choice of colours. Different threads & beads can be incorporated to stunning effect. |
Howlite Skull Beads
These semi-precious howlite skull beads have proved very popular in the shop and are available in 2 colours and 2 sizes. They combine really well with Swarovski 5000 beads & 1mm rattail to make alternative shamballa style bracelets, click here to view.

Light Turquoise & Crystal Blue Shade
We are really excited about Swarovski's two new colours; Light Turquoise is a vibrant blue, reminiscent of Caribbean seas which looks stunning when combined with monochrome beads. Crystal Blue shade is a cool sparkling silver blue perfect in elegant designs. Click here to view our full range of XILION colours. |
Shrink Plastic Dancing Skeleton
This scary fellow is remarkable easy to make, he works well as an unusual pendant or why not hang him up in the house as a Halloween decoration that's bound to become a talking point! Click here for full instructions. |
