Etelage 3 day SALE plus Designing on a Budget!

January is the month for SALES. The Etelage SALE is for 3 days only from this Saturday 31 from 10am. Enjoy 50% off ALL Czech glass beads plus selected DIY Kits & jewellery!

However you don’t have to go to a sale to enjoy a bargain.

 Here are my 7 tips for beading thriftiness:

 
 
 

• Use filler beads to space out your design: seed beads & bugle beads. They are great in any design. Pictured: tassel jungle necklace DIY  & new DIY earrings.

 
 

• Use all your odd beads in a themed charm bracelet or chandelier earrings. Pictured:  Blossom Earrings DIY & an oriental red & green theme.

 

• Make your own clasps using seed bead loops & a bead or button. Pictured: Ooh La La DIY Cluster  Bracelet (avail in 5 colours) or join our wire wrapping workshop this weekend Sat 31 Jan.

 
 

• Revamp old & broken jewellery & beads including odd chains. Pictured: pendant using broken Indian glass bead & chain off cuts. Join Raphael in his vintage embellishment classes to learn this technique using polymer.

 

• Recycle: visit a market or op shop & purchase some second hand jewellery to rework. Old cameo is upcycled to a ring.  Join Raphael in his vintage embellishment classes to learn this technique using polymer.

 

• Shop together & save. Buy in bulk. Etelage offers discounts for 100pces & ½ kg etc.

Happy Beading,

Chris

Get wrapped with wire!

 

Wire is really versatile. Rigid wire can be bent, coiled, twisted, woven and manipulated to form different shapes and link beads together. Wire is available in different gauges, hardness, shape, finish and colour. Rigid wire can be bent, coiled, twisted, woven and manipulated to form different shapes and link beads together.
