Crafty JuJu Ive been using Sanctuary beads on ebay for all my findings, their postage is only 99p regardless of what you buy. My only issue is that in my bag of silver headpins I bought nearly all are bent, its ok with non see through beads or small ones but when I put a large glass heart you can see the bend, so ive had to try and straighten them. Other than that the stuff is pretty good.

I found the same when I first ordered from them but like you said there fine once you straighten them out I've just placed a new order with them for some more bits as I'm running very low on chain & findings....I can blame the cluster bracelet I made yesterday for that (its on my blog if you want a nosey)

Hi everyone, theres some lovely makes on here, I havent made anything lately, been making cards which I blogged.

But today I went out with my friend for coffee to the Mill in Batley....we noticed a new craft shop has opened on the 2nd floor, my DD works in the Mill and didnt mention it, it been open about 3 weeks, and they have a big range of things. Beads, wire, card making things, wool and patterns. Painting things. Bits of everything really, some things I thought were expensive, some reasonable.....;) Its worth a look

So anyhow back to the point, I bought some beads and I`m going to make some jewellery, fingers crossed xx

Thing is I got all my things ready to go and just have to start....

Yes I did, and had a lovely time. I did post some pics of the necklace I made, but it was a while ago, the Mayday BH weekend.

My friend, who I made it for, has worn it nearly every day, so she must really like it

Thankyou everyone for your lovely comments on my blog I've made 3 keyring/bag charms today, I was amazed how long they have took me to make! I had some odd ends of chain left over & thought it would be a quick way of using it up but each has taken me an hour to make :eek: oh well I'll post pics to mo on my blog when I'm not so sleepy

were do you purchase the chains from?
is there any links you can direct me to on ebay that you can direct me too? thanks

LJM

it all depends on what type of chain you are after,though i have found ebay by far the cheapest in my opinion just pop chain into crafts section there is a lot on jewellery making site but you can always limit what you want to look at if you specifically know what you need
