Just wondering where the you recommend buying your beads/findings etc from?

I've just started and seem to be spending a small fortune in Hobbycraft

Good ol' Ebay!

 

If you find a good Ebay shop and buy a fair few things at once postage is reduced! And as beads aren`t exactly heavy P&P isn`t normally too costly anyhows.

Or buy old strings of beads from charity shops, pull them apart & mix with a few new beads to make something totally different. You can make lots of pairs of earrings from one string of beads. There are also bead fairs you could attend.

Raid Gran's strings of beads box!

 

I like http://www.jillybeads.co.uk/, http://www.grovebeads.co.uk/, http://www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/ but there are hundreds more! Haven't been on any of them for a while though, as I've found a lovely bead-shop near me where I am now friends with the owner, so get very good deals!!

 

Get hold of a copy of Beads & Beyond magazine or they've got a website (which I will have to go & investigate now I've found it... !) http://www.beadsandbeyondmagazine.com/issue/issue.aspx?cid=4189

 

Happy bead hunting, & don't forget to post some piccies, we do love a nice piccy on here!

Try jenecabeads.co.uk they've got an amazing stock, and are really nice too

I'm making snowflakes that hang on fishing thread, and sparkle!!

I'm trying not to drip on them... yep, we're all still streaming, and coughing, and generally feeling pathetic. Missed the candle carole service tonight

The Bead Shop in London or ebay. Or if you can get tamarind fruits (the fresh ones in the 'crispy' shells) and are patient, save the seeds, drill them and they make lovely natural beads.
