I want beads!

19 replies

Is anyone good at finding jewellery? Ive decided I need to accesorise more.

I want a necklace of big chunky wooden beads, a bit like this but in different colours if possible.

Where should I look?

If I can get earring with one or two beads on to match that would be great too.

TIA

Hmm, that bolding didn't quite go as planned.

Buy a bead set and let the DCs loose. I've got tons of bright strings of beads made by DD's fair hands.

So where do I get a nice bead set from?

I want bright colours on large wooden beads, preferably some larger than others.

Sainsburys is a good idea BTW GossipMonger - that's definitely the price range I'm looking at!

I should think they sell nice beads at Hobbycraft type places.

FigmentOfYourImagination · 07/04/2009 16:04

not beads all the way around but v colourful

Similar idea

Woody one

Coral colours

Maybe ?

FigmentOfYourImagination · 07/04/2009 16:06

Online bead supplier

FigmentOfYourImagination · 07/04/2009 16:06

Possibly too £££ but is chunky and has matching earrings available

What about Primark? I've been there today and they have some truly lovely pieces of costume jewelery and beads at cheap cheap cheap prices. You could buy a bag load for a tenner!

Wow, lots of links! Thanks

I like the woody one from DP and also the yellow one. Shame they don't come in a bigger range of colours (I am definitely not a 'coral' person).

I'll probably go spend hours on that bead site now!

Not wood but bold and chunky

Blue tones

Greens & browns

If you know the sort of thing you are after & want something specific, I could make you one

Oooh, yuor stuff looks lively Whizzz but I was just thinking of a single string with big chunky beads on. If I were getting you to make something I feel it would have to be intricate and delicate (and too difficult for me to do myself!).

Whizzz · 07/04/2009 16:45

LOL I can do chunky too but I know what you mean

Tillyscoutsmum · 07/04/2009 16:46

Definitely try Sainsburys - I get most of mine from there... Places like Dorothy Perkins. Monsoon, Wallis, Next etc are worth a look as well
