  ​Serendipity BEAD STEW… ​Yummy Ingredients For Easy Jewelry Making -- Absolutely no “crafty" experience is needed to create a one-of-a-kind bangle-style bracelet or “roll-on-style” stretchy bracelets, and with oodles of hand-selected, limited edition, bead combos to choose from in every BEAD STEW kit, ultra-FAB results are guaranteed!
  

• FYI… Two basic tools are required to create the bangle-style bracelet that are not included in the kit, so please check out the “TOOLS” info, but only a pair of pointy scissors is needed to make stretchy bracelets.
  
  # of Kits in Edition: 10
  

• Color Story: To me, the colors of luscious black and gold harkens back to a more sophisticated time of “Cocktails at 8” around a cocktail trolley in a 1960’s living room — OR, maybe in more current times, wearing a “Little Black Dress” while devouring some Ferrero Rocher bon-bons! This color-combo would look totally fab with a classic black suit or for more of a casual style, such as a summery, leopard-print dress.

  Colors: ​​Matte and shiny black, matte, shiny and sparkly metallic gold, along with a bit of a metallic, rainbow finish

  Beady Ingredients: Hand-painted glass beads, Czech “pressed” glass and “fire-polish” faceted glass beads, Japanese “seed”, and metal beads.

  "Stretchy Bracelet” Ingredients: 10M stretchy cord, one bead stringing “needle" and Tips ’n’ Tricks info.
  

• “Bangle-icious Bracelet” Ingredients: “Memory” wire bracelet base, in a color-coordinated metal finish, and Step by Step Instructions. FYI… The Bracelet Size in the kit "fits most", but if your wrist is larger than 7 1/2", please email us so we can substitute a roomier bracelet >>> CONTACT

• The tools needed to create a “bangle-style” or “stretchy" bracelets are not included in the kit. Since you'll want to have “the right tool for the job", these are the tools you’ll need...

  To make a "Bangle-icious Bracelet":
  Heavy Duty wire cutter (from your household tool box) or Memory Wire Cutter (DO NOT USE YOUR JEWELRY CUTTING PLIER!!!… the wire is very hard and will ruin them!), as well as Round Nose Pliers (or “needle” nose pliers from household tool box) to turn the loop on the memory wire that finishes the bracelet.

  To make “roll-on” stretchy bracelets: Sharp Scissors, preferably pointy, to get a close cut to trim the stretchy cord.
  

  For any type of jewelry-making project, you should have a good working surface so your beads don’t roll away… Our Velux Beading Mat Work Surface ​is an excellent choice!
  

• Design inspiration... Because the bead and color combinations in our Serendipity BEAD STEW bracelet making kits are so unique and ultra-special, there is no wrong or right way to add the beads to the “memory” bracelet wire ​or make a “stretchy-style” bracelet.

  The most important thing is to relax and have fun with the creation of your piece(s) because no matter what you do, your creation(s) will turn out beautifully, and friends and family will be totally impressed!
