I have been making beaded charms for the past few months. These pics show the sorts of things I've been making - is this what you mean?

Yes, the one's in the market were similar. When I saw them first thing in the morning, there was a basket full, when I went back about 1hr later about half had been sold (but they were only 1euro each)
Good luck selling yours I think they're great

Hi Laura

They look lovely. Would love to make them, are they fairly easy?? I've always been put off as they were Japanese instructions so I assumed they would be hard to make!! Do you have a link to any instructions online that are nice and simpe to follow??

Just a few bits from me - I tend to make slightly... errrr abstract stuff, but have done a fair few more conventional bits over the years.

A few bits in blue:



Something with a load of old buttons:



And a slightly odd fascinator

Celyn - thanks for showing us, they look great. I have just bought a book on button jewellery and there are some really nice ideas in it. Got it for £1.99 in The Works along with a book on Beaded Jewellery for the same price!!!!!!!

Have you tried the beadshop (they do mail order):

I've used the shop before and they were very good and staff helpful so I would expect similar from their mail order.

Hey gals (and guys - who knows!)

I'm on the hunt for some ring blanks, the looped ones in silver plate or similar. I've looked on ebay, and they are a bit pricey. Does anyone know of any good sites that have them?

Love the tiara, and the fascinator!!!
