I am almost out of this popular Halloween Czech 6/0 seed bead mix recipe for good. It has all the colors! If you want to recreate it yourself, the Czech Preciosa bead numbers are below:

I don’t have any solid colors in stock, but I do have a limited stock of the striped beads available in my shop at www.thebeadmix.com 🎃

I no longer sell these crimp end caps that I use with all my silver bracelets and necklaces instead of crimp beads. If you are looking for them, you can find them at RioGrande 😊 https://www.riogrande.com/product/sterling-silver-coil-style-crimp-end-caps/687768GP

I have full YouTube tutorial on how to use them.

On another note, I’m finding that the cost to keep my website running will be more than the revenue I can bring in from selling color palettes and bead mix recipes. So I’m not sure if I will be releasing any more and the ones I have available now may go away at some point.

My son is in his senior year and in the recruiting process to play volleyball in college. It’s an exciting time and I want to make the most of it with him. He’s my one and only. Therefore, while I still need to figure out my next steps, I won’t be very active on social media. I hope you’re all doing well! 💕

Here are the Miyuki Delica bead numbers I used to create this stained glass effect. After finding this photo in my stash, I wish I still had all these colors to keep playing with this design.

What’s everyone making with their Christmas tree beads? I love making dainty earrings. They are festive, but simple and elegant. Next I’m going to try a multi-tree earring design. Last year I made charm necklaces studded with trees. If you haven’t grabbed yours yet, they are now 50% off along with everything else in my shop. Got to www.thebeadmix.com > shop > holiday shop. I hope you have a great weekend! 💕

Beads to make Christmas tree charms are back! In lots of new colors and size options. My favorite is green marble! I also have several pink options for a Pink Christmas vibe.

The sets come with all the beads you need, including the metallic base and tree topper. All you need to supply is the head pins.

The tool I’m using is called the one step looper by the Beadsmith. It’s sold at craft stores and many places online. You can also use round nose pliers. If you go that route, you will also need wire cutters.

I use 21 gauge head pins. I know I used pins that are longer than needed. It’s because I literally have thousands of them in this size and I’d rather use what I have then buy new shorter ones. But if you don’t have any, I do recommend shorter pins.

These charms can be made into earrings or used on necklaces and bracelets.

This project is perfect for beginners. You need very few materials and supplies. And I have a full tutorial on YouTube.

Last year I sold out multiple times and kept restocking. This year since I am winding things down, I will not be restocking. I do have a large inventory now. But once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Go to www.thebeadmix.com > shop > holiday shop 🎄You’ll also see beads to make Christmas light bulb charms, snowman charms, and Grinch charms.

When I did a poll asking when I should release my Christmas items, most people said July. I know it's early, but gift makers and jewelry makers plan ahead. So I'm sorry if these posts stress you out! I will not do too many until the holidays get closer. But I just wanted to let you know I have released my complete line-up of beads for making Christmas charms.

First, I released 19 new color/size options for my best-selling Christmas tree charms. You get all the beads. All you need are head pins and round-nose pliers, or a one-step looper. For the trees, I have a full tutorial on YouTube, and you make all the others the exact same way. Just put the beads on the head pin in the order shown and create a loop with the excess wire. That's it! Then add them to chain necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more!

My favorite new Christmas tree options are the etched emerald and green marble. So elegant!

I also released a brand-new bead set to make little Grinch-inspired charms. They are so sweet!

And finally, I still have the snowman and Christmas light bulbs.

I am fully stocked, but I will not be restocking. This is it!

Have a great weekend! 💕
