Thanks for the reminder about Jillybeads. I used to use them years ago but completely forgot about them. I had a look and they sell some fantastic bead mixes perfect for the sort of bracelets I'm making now. I need a real variety of beads and it works out quite expensive buying individual beads or even bags of the same bead. To be honest it's not like I haven't got enough beads to make a bracelet for everyone in the country BUT it's a brilliant excuse to buy more
This is the one I made last night.
that is a lovely bracelet:xmastree:Is loving life right now,yes I am a soppy fool who believes in the simple things in life :xmastree:0 -

I'm full of questions today.
Has anyone bought those Swarovski mixes off Jilly Beads?
Can anyone recommed certain mixes?
When I went to Hobby Craft I bought some 0.2mm silver plated wire, I bought it too thin, can anyone recommed a good thickness so it won't snap easily, but can still fit small beads on???
Sorry if I'm being difficult, I just enjoy making bracelets and I want to get it perfect.:):D I do have a tendency to talk about utter nonsense at the weirdest of times :rotfl:Happily Crafting away in my Fortress of Solitude (Bedroom)
