Beading

Your local arts & craft stores like Michaels carry Perler beads. Michaels has a huge selection of the beads and the peg boards in basic and complex shapes. They also carry kits containing peg boards and beads in the shape of fun characters and designs.

You can do a lariat in two ways: 1) bead one long strand. You might consider finishing each end with a focal bead. Depending on how long you make your strand, you can fold it in half, wrap it around your neck, and loop the ends through, or you can tie a loose knot around your neck. 2) Bead a long strand with a loop at one end. The end without the loop should have some type of heavier focal bead that will keep the strand pulled taut through the loop. The easiest way to do the loop is to string from the other end, place a crimp at the start of the loop, finish stringing the beads for the loop, and thread the excess wire back through the crimp and close, making a loop.

That is the amount of weight it will take to pull on the thread to break it.

Size is the only difference between Hama beads and Perler beads. Perler beads only come in one size, while Hama beads come in three and can be slightly taller than each other.

look in the phone book under jewelery or jewelers. ignore the listings for the stores like zales and kay. look for stores that are individual owned and operated. many of these have custom jewelry design or custom orders in the ad. take your design in and ask about the cost. Don't be afraid to comparison shop. if you don't have a picture of the design, you will have to sit down with the jeweler to have them draw it out. this can add signifigantly to the price. good luck

normally, it's just if the beads have been dyed on the strand or off. if its on a white strand, it means that the beads have been coloured idividually, but if they are on a coloured strand, it means that they have been coloured togeather, on that strand.

The answer depends on the size of the bead and the size of the hole in the center of the bead, as wells the size of the chain. Take your bead and chain to a local bead shop. Ask the clerk if she has a sterling spring ring that would fit through th bead and around the chain. That would be the most reasonably priced solution. If not, someone at the store would proboably make you a little sterling hanger just for the price of materials. This would also be quite reasonable and quick. Making a silver hanger for the bead is very basic beading work. So, the shop would know someone to do it for you if they are too busy. Most bead stores offer classes. You might decide to take a class in beginning wire wrap, or working with head pins. Either would teach the techinque of putting a silver wire through the bead, making a loop around the chain, and neatly wrapping the wire at the bottom of the loop so it is secure. Presto, the bead is on your chain and looks great.

The fantastic story about the original and unique Trollbeads started in 1976 in Denmark, when Søren Sølvsmed (Silver-smith) created the very first Trollbeads, at a time when it was fashionable to have a ball of silver on a leather thong around your neck.

The very first Trollbead was a silver bead with six different troll faces all the way around it. This bead is still in the collection. Within a short time, Søren had designed several new beads so that the customers had different beads to choose from. But it was not really until Lise Aagaard in 1987, opened her store that people discovered Trollbeads. Lise made sure that every customer felt, they where a part of the Trollbeads universe.

No they are made in thialand

No, they are no better than your regular sterling silver bead that you can buy from any other jewellery outlet. All you are paying for is the name Pandora. Other brand names that are cheaper than Pandora are Biagi, Chamilia, Chrysalis, Trollbeads.

Depending on what type of beading project you are doing depends on wether you need a needle. I only tend to use a beading needle for fine beadwork such as thread beading- which then yes, i would use a 'beading needle'. Other then that I don't believe that you really need a beading needle for beading jewellery.

They sure are! In fact, Swarovski Elements is the VERY BEST of the Swarovski Brand of crystals. Swarovski Elements was originally known as Swarovsk Strass. The more economical option is Swarovski Spectra.
