Take advantage of this promotion and make your next bead and tool purchase at Beads N Crystals a rewarding and fulfilling one.

How does it work?

Simply spend $200 or more after wholesale discounts by June 30 2023. In July, we’ll issue a credit voucher based on your total product spend between June 20th and 30th.

  • Spend over $200 = 10% Store Credit (Minimum $20 credit)
  • Spend over $1000 = 15% Store Credit (Minimum $150 credit)

How to Spend Credit In-Store:

  • Remind us that you have a credit before making payment for your purchase.

Once a payment is made, we’re not able to apply a voucher, so it’s important to ensure you do not make a payment for your order until after we have applied the voucher.

When are the credits valid?

The credit is locked to your wholesale account and is not transferrable. The credit is valid from issue date until September 30th 2023. The wholesale minimum spend of $50 still applies before the credit is issued.

For example:

  • if you make a $55 purchase and have a $45 credit, the balance to pay would be just $10.
  • If you have a $100 credit and wish to purchase $60 today, there would be no balance to pay. The remaining $40 could then be used against a future purchase before the expiry date.
  • If you have a $30 voucher and have an order of $30, you will need to add an additional $20 worth of goods to meet the minimum wholesale order value of $50 before we could process the sale.

Polymer clay is a versatile and popular medium among beaders because it allows for endless creative possibilities. With polymer clay, you can shape and mold it into any design or form you desire, making it perfect for creating unique and personalised beads, pendants, charms, and other jewellery components.

One of the key advantages of working with polymer clay is its wide range of vibrant colours. Polymer clay comes in an extensive colour palette, allowing you to mix and blend colours to achieve the exact shades and hues you envision for your designs. This makes it easy to match your clay creations with other beads, findings, and materials in your jewellery-making projects.

Polymer clay is also a durable and lightweight material, making it comfortable to wear as jewellery. Once baked in a standard oven, it becomes hard and durable, ensuring that your creations will withstand everyday wear and tear. Additionally, polymer clay can be sanded, buffed, and polished to achieve a smooth and professional finish, giving your designs a polished and professional look.

40% Off SEED BEADS

Shop Seed Beads

Seed Beads are not just for Seed Beaders

Seed beads are small beads that are typically cylindrical or round. They are commonly used in jewellery making and beadwork, and come in a variety of sizes, colours, and finishes. The most common sizes of seed beads range from 15 (the smallest) to 6 (the largest). They are often used in bead weaving techniques such as peyote stitch, brick stitch, and loom-work, and are also used in stringing projects like bead embroidery and bead crochet.

Our range includes various other shapes as well as 2-hole varieties. Because of their small size, seed beads allow for intricate and detailed designs, making them a popular choice for both novice and experienced beaders.

Although seed beads are great for all those projects, if you’re not a seed beader, don’t overlook the amazing opportunities they can offer to any beading designs. Seed beads work perfectly as spacers in strung jewellery, an added element in earrings, between pearls, wood or gemstone, on elastic and lots more.

Multi-hole seed beads can also be used as little bails to attach a charm or tassel, to keep 2-strand necklaces and bracelets together or to create an interesting fringe not possible with regular beads. If you use pearls, gemstones, crystal, wood, glass, shell or acrylic, seed beads can be integrated into your designs in lots of ways!

Check out our full range of sizes and shapes.

Please note this deal excludes already reduced and clearance lines, quantity pricing, seed bead sized beads in other categories such as pearl, glass, crystal, gemstone.

In Store: we’ll apply the discount when we process your purchase.

Online Orders: Check out selecting “Direct Bank Deposit” so you can submit the order unpaid. After we’ve picked & packed your order with the discounts and free gift, we’ll contact you with the new total.

How To Bead Crochet

Crochet is a method of creating fabric by looping yarn or thread around itself using a crochet hook. Bead crochet is a type of needlework that incorporates beads into the fabric to make decorative and intricate patterns. Once you learn how to bead crochet, you can add a new skill to your crafting repertoire. Although bead crochet can be used to make a range of items, it is most commonly used to create jewellery, accessories, and even works of art — the possibilities are almost endless when it comes to the application of crochet fashion. Learning how to do bead stitch crochet is relatively simple, and with a little practice, you can create beautiful pieces that are perfect for gifts or personal use. To help you get started, we’ve created this handy guide on how to bead stitch crochet.

Create beautiful crochet fashion and learn how to bead crochet the easy way

“Crochet” comes from the French word “croche” or “cro” which means to hook.  In bead crochet, beads are added to the foundation row or inserted into the fabric as it is being created. Beaded crochet has a more sparkly and glamorous look compared to regular crocheting. When it comes to bead crocheting, it’s a versatile technique, relatively easy to learn and does not require a lot of expensive equipment. There are two main methods to use when learning how to bead crochet: stringing the beads onto the yarn before beginning to crochet or adding the beads as you go.
  • Stringing the beads onto the yarn before beginning to crochet is the quicker of the two methods, but keeping track of where you are in the pattern can be more difficult. Start by stringing the appropriate number of beads onto your yarn. If you are using dental floss or another thread type, use a needle to string the beads onto the thread. Once the beads are on the yarn, make a slipknot and place it on your crochet hook. Tighten the knot so it is secure but not so tight that it is difficult to work with.
  • Adding the beads as you go is slower, but it allows you to adjust the placement of the beads as you work. Begin crocheting as you normally would, incorporating the beads into your stitches. To add a bead, simply slide it up to the top of your work and complete the stitch as normal. You can experiment with different bead colours and patterns to create unique and beautiful pieces of jewellery or art. With a little practice, you can create stunning bead crochet designs.
