All About Beads - Bead Projects

Fun and easy projects to inspire your creativity.


 

 

 

 

These pendants are very popular at All About Beads. Even we were  surprised at what a big hit they are.
Key chains are hot collectables!   They are no longer used just on keys.   ey chains make a fashion statement as zipper pulls on jackets, book bags,  wallets or pocketbooks.                     They are inexpensive to make and are easily inter-changeable.                    Since key chains are made from small parts they are NOT to be used by small children or as toys.


 



 

 

 

Too cute for words, our pet pendants are a follow up to our popular people pendants.  Make yourself a bangle bracelet full of these adorable critters.

 

Wine charms are decorative and practical. They are use to mark guests drink glasses.  Great gift for bridal shower or party favors.
Our Snack Spreader and Serving Fork Set goes well with our wine glass charms and beaded napkin ring sets.
