Description:
For all of you bead lovers out there- What do you use your beads for? In this swap you will make something new for your partner using the beads you have collected. Include a note explaining how you made the item. I am curious to see what beads can be used to make. You can make any kind of jewelry or beaded item. The item is any of your choice, but must include beads. Lets be creative with this one :)

Debisa, does the item have to be something besides jewelry?

It can be anything. I revised above to be more clear. Thanks :)

To be honest, I can't think of anything to make with beads besides jewelry or a bookmark. I will look into more ideas and link them. :)

i like using glass beads and crystals to make suncatchers. this is on my watchlist.

oh,oh, does this mean that we have to first participate in your fancy bead swap? or can we just be in this one?

There are no previous bead swap requirements. I revised again and just took out that sentence.

I found a rose made out of seed beads online. The search continues

Well, you can add beads to almost anything - any kind of bag, clothing piece, lamp, cake cutter, picture frame, anything really.
