Perfect for Summer Necklace Kit

We made up this very simple necklace kit today including Griffin Nylon Power Thread, a gift bag and, of course, the beads - approx. 90g
These beads are lightweight & have a shimmery, mirror-like finish & are similar in finish to AB coated beads.
Perfect for those summer days & holidays.
Just £5.95
All you need to do is thread the beads & then knot the ends together, adding a dab of glue for extra security and then wear with pride (or give as a lovely gift)
Available in-store and online.

Make this pretty summer time bracelet.


We have been busy making new things today and this is one of the bracelets we have made. 

Here is how to Make it!

All these items can be found on our website at www.cjbeaders.co.uk

Tools you will need are:
Cutters
Round nose pliers
2 x Chain nose pliers (or you can use a pair of flat nose pliers)

7.   Repeat these steps until all the pieces are joined together. Now you can slightly bend the rubber tubing           so it forms nicely around your arm. The bracelet should have 2 of the 10mm beads on either end this is         where you will attach the toggle clasp.

8. Attach the toggle clasp using a jump ring, 

All beads, findings and  tools can be found on our website at www.cjbeaders.co.uk

Wire Wrapper Pendent.

All you need to make this wire wrapper pendent is

Beadalon 21.8mm round Artistic Wire wire wrapper
24 and 28 gauge Beadalon Artistic Wire
1 x 22mm round resin sugar stone bead
1 x necklace chain 

 Wrap the Bicones around the edge of the wire wrapper into the recesses of the wrapper, using the 28 gauge wire. Next place the sugar stone in the centre of the wire wrapper and wrap into place using the 24 gauge wire. Start the wrap on the top right leaving some spare wire to secure later. Count every 4 Bicones and wrap the wire again, continue every 4th Bicone to create the star pattern. Once the star is completed twist and tuck in loose ends at the back of the wire wrapper. Attach to necklace chain.
The pendent takes 15-20 minutes to complete.

We have been trying out our new Thorn Beads and have made this bracelet using memory wire and pellet beads mixed with thorn beads. This is a great project easy and fun to make, it takes around 10-15 minutes to complete.
