New class! Stunning crystal cuff bracelet: Sunday 27 November

Are you looking to make a special Christmas present?  Or maybe just to treat yourself?

This stunning crystal cuff could be just what you’re looking for! Made with swarvoski crystals, it has an irresistible sparkle. It twinkles when on the wrist and is a perfect accessory for the party season. Based on a right angle weave,  this class is suitable for both newcomers to bead weaving as well as those with some experience.

The class runs from 12pm-2pm on Sunday 27 November and costs £16, which includes tuition, needle, thread and clasp, but excludes beads, which you can choose on the day.

It’s possible that you might not get your bracelet finished during the class, but don’t worry, you will be given full instructions to finish the bracelet off at home.

Please pop in to see us, visit our website or call us on 0131 228 5058 if you would like to book!

 

Christmas gift ideas from The Little Bead Shop

We’ve had lots of lovely (and organized!) customers popping in to ask for advice about gift ideas for Christmas so we thought we should give you some inspiration!

Make a present

Looking for that perfect necklace or pair of earrings? Why not make it? Pop in to The Little Bead Shop and we can help you choose the best beads to make the perfect present. Got you beads, but not sure how to put them together? We can help with that too! Our Beginner’s Beading classes (new timetable coming soon!) will teach you how to design a necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings and how to put everything together to make a perfect, professionally finished piece of jewellery. Not able to attend a class? Why not book a one-to-one session?

Commission a piece of jewellery

Got an idea for a present but not sure how to put it together? Why not commission us to make it for you? We also specialize in fine silver fingerprint jewellery where we capture fingerprints directly into silver which then can be made into earrings, charms, cufflinks and more!

Gift a class

Do you have a friend who loves doing new things or learning new skills? Why not buy them a voucher for one of our amazing classes? With a comprehensive range of classes including Silver Clay, beading (new timetable coming soon!), silver smithing, dichroic glass fusing and lampwork we have something for everyone.

Gift vouchers

Not sure what to buy? We stock gift vouchers that can be used for goods in our shop, our classes or a combination of both! For more information about any of these ideas, pop in to see us, email us or give us a call on 0131 228 5058!
