Does anyone know where these can be found? My neighbour would like them for her daughter's prom dress and hasn't been lucky with craft shops locally. Any recommended online beady places? It's not my area of expertise (so to speak).

Are bugle beads the long thin tube type? Hmm a Haberdashery / dance wear shop would sell them. Would have thought Hobbycraft would have them. Or Ebay.

We have a Hobbycraft but apparently they don't do the ones she wants. I gather they don't look like a trumpet (which was my immediate thought ) but oval and smooth shaped! Well at least she has time on her hands at the moment.

Cheers anyway.

Bugle beads are the long thin tube beads, usually with a silver lining and squared off ends. As far as I know that's how they come as they are made as a very long tube then cut. Maybe she wants rice beads?

Must admit I've had a look and they are not what she described to me - thanks for that, I'll let her know.

Loads of beads at this online shop. Spellbound

[Valkyrie]

OMG Pimmsyplum - I've never seen anything like it!!! Ever!!!! WOW!!! That's so brilliant. Thank you.

You want to try walking in the door, it's like walking in a quilting shop for the first time

[Valkyrie]

Oh gawd - don't set me off! It's sooooo purdy! Just sent my pal the address saying this is the one - awesome just doesn't describe it as the window opens up!! I reckon to visit you must bring a chin harness to stop the jaw dropping on the floor!

It's not far from Valhalla

[bluekarin]

What an amazing website! I wish the shop was near me Then again, maybe its best at a distance

[welovemarmite]

oh there are plenty of shops about that are just like spellbound....... all over the country its just knowing where they are. I teach bead work, so if any one wants to find one, let me know roughly where you live and i will see where i can find a shop that is within easy reach of you. and as for online shops, well cut up the credit cards first. and then there are shows........

[Valkyrie]

Sadly (or is it more like luckily) it's 2 and a half hours from me. Unless I get Uncle Thor to give me some rocket fuel to fire up my old chariot!

 

Although there is a quilting shop in Solihull! Nooooooooooooooooo!

[Valkyrie]

Oooh I live in Hook by the way, Hamphire, thank you Marmiteymuncher, I would really appreciate it.

there is also the southampton bead shop.

[Valkyrie]

Thank you so much for that - will give her a ring.

Cheers.
