    Hi, I got the large one on the handbag charm free in the Making Jewellery magazine last month and im not sure where the little ones were from, i always bought from ebay but tried Jilly beads last night and stocked up......lots of pretty charms beads to browse.

    Oh strangely enough I am just going through their shop (Omg there are so many items to look at!) and saving some of the things I want or might want to my favourites ready for payday, and I think I saw the beads! I thought Oh they look like CraftyJuJus beads and then thought I would pop back on here to see if you had replied and low and behold you have and it is Sanctuary Beads!

    How many beads approx is 25g. I guess what Im asking is how many times did you order 25g?

    Your ears must have been burning to make you come & check :D
    I've just counted out one of the bags for you & theres 102...to look at it you would'nt think there was that many :p

    Evening ladies. I was wondering if anyone else has subscribed to the Make Jewellery mag and if they get it delivered? I got the 3 issues for £3.00 a few months ago and they have all came fine, but I got the latest one today and the free seed beads werent with it. I called them and they said they would send another mag out. Did anyone else get theirs ok?

    ps if I get my new mag ok with the beads im happy to send the other mag to anyone who wants it, unread (minus the beads im afraid), pm me if anyone wants it and ill let you know if the new one turns up.

    Hi crafty, have pm'd you, the mag is yours when it comes. I'll let you know. I personally wouldn't pay £4.99 for each issue, there's only a couple of ideas from each mag I would actually do, so happy to pass it on.

    wow that is an alot! Much more than I was expecting! but thats a good thing I suppose from our point of view! Which size did you get?

    I was abit naughty and after Vikki mentioning JillyBeads last night I went on and placed an order! oops! I have been convincing myself to wait till payday and trying to not look but the temptation got the better of me. I just ordered loads of random things, not the bear essentials so I will still be putting my order in with Sanctury Beads after payday. The thing I liked about JillyBeads was the fact you could order one of some things, so I just order one of some random things or a small number of some spacers, that way if they arrive and I like them I can put in a bigger order and if not Ive not wasted much! I only spent £12 something and it said I had 40 odd things in my basket so I felt this justified it hahaha

    I cant wait till next week as hopefully I will have my JillyBeads and SanctuaryBeads orders and can really start making things :D

    The latest make, I took apart a pack of 5 stretchy bead bracelets bought from Primark for £1. Got loads of lovely purple gold and teal beads off them....very impressed!!

    Made this handbag charm with some of them, waiting for memory wire so i can make some of those. Anyone know what size i should be buying??

    Oh and Giggles its so tempting, i think looking for beads is as much fun as making things with them! Its great that you got so much for your money.

    I cant wait for my order to arrive so i can get making! :j
