Bead Making Ideas out there By Miabo Enyadike


 Bead Making Ideas out there 



Bead making is simple and easy to learn. All you need are your beads the right strings and a needle may be some clasps. Anyway, there are so many free tutorials littered on the Internet that teach this.


Aside from the financial freedom it brings, if you decide it is a business, the fact that you can make a bead necklace that is your own design is fantastic. 

I make beads necklaces from all sorts of beads and so I make it a point to collect beads from every city, I visit.

I also love vintage beads and the journey to a charity store or flea market, for me is one of anticipation and excitement.





Over the years I have collected loads of vintage beads











 and I have turned them into necklaces and Art pieces. This bead collection that I have, has been made into long boho necklaces and Art for my mannequin.





 These vintage beads will compliment the boho chic look I have come to love.
Not all beads made are wearable, I create most of my bead necklaces for Art purposes.








The beads, are a mish mash of different sizes of beads, put together reflecting different shades of the same color.




They are really stunning to look at and lovely on the neck, of the person wearing them.




 There is just something carefree and wild about them, I love it!
So why don't you pull out that stash of abandoned old beads you have and make something new and special .....Enjoy.
