I used to make and sell jewelry, which I no longer do. When I would want to make a necklace with one or two beads on it, I had to pay anywhere between $5 and $10 for a bag of many of all the same bead. So I decided to make this little bead kit for anyone who makes jewelry. The materials include metals, wood ( butterflies and the round ones next to the silver beads), plastic (just the stars - great for kids' jewelry), clay, rubber (the square ones hooked on a card), painted seashells from the coast of Maine, charms, and beads. I have also included great wire necklaces that I sold a lot of, very versatile because you can have one necklace and keep changing beads and charms! beads jewelry beads jewelry making jewelry charms jewelry charms
