4th Anniversary Celebration!
Bead Swap and Free Pearls!
 


 
We are proud to announce that we have been in business for four years now on 82nd street. In celebration we are giving away a free strand of pearls with any purchase over $25.00 from now till the end of the month or until supplies run out. We will be celebrating on Saturday September 20th with free sparkle glasses for the kids and a two hour Bead Swap in the rear parking lot from 10 am to Noon.
 
Here are the rules of the bead swap. No selling of your beads. Just trading. Beads only, no finished jewelry. Hand made beads, polymer clay, glass, bone, wood, ceramic, pendants and bought beads are all OK to trade. We will have our 3 classroom tables setup along with free soda, water and Hors d'oeuvres. Please, no personal beads brought for the swap are to be brought into the store. We will be having it in the rear parking lot of the 82nd street store.

We will be having polymer clay demos from 2 pm until closing. Come in and see how easy it really is.

 

The Studio by Sculpey Polymer clay and tools are in stock and we have scheduled some awesome classes. You can make up to 80 beads for as little as $3.00. This new clay is very different than the older other brands and types. It is easier to work, much more durable and comes in designer colors. It's not just for kids, you can create some very original designs and imitate most semi-precious stones.

Here is an example...

This necklace used less than ten dollars worth of materials to create. That includes the clay, the findings, cross, wire and the filler beads. Pretty cool and a great value.  We created a video "How To" on the creation of the polymer clay beads. It is a great first project and a basic tutorial on preparing the clay, making a cane, making an oval bead and using the Tri-Bead Roller. Please take a look at the "How to Video".
