The spiderweb is so easy to make, but it is hard to create a creepy spiderweb for halloween when you use beautiful glass Ori beads for your project.

I have been making some gorgeous ornaments with my beads and the Dazzle-it Snowflake frame.  The frames are available in three sizes and today’s spiderweb is a medium sized frame.

I had just the right amount of black crystals for my project.

Once all my prongs were filled I started to add my webbing.  A simple twist of a wire was all I needed to hold the beads in place.

I tried to make it less perfect by adding one less bead here and there.

I was starting to get nervous that I would run out of beads.  Luckily I had a third strand of these smaller black beads.  In the end, I used three 8 inch strands of small beads and one and a half strands of the larger bead.

I am very pleased with the final webbing.  Now I am on the hunt for an actual spider to attach to it.

The snowflake frames are in the Outlet now.

This gorgeous and on-trend bracelet is a gorgeous gift and can be made for under $10 if you shop at the Outlet.

If you have never made jewelry, this is the ideal starter project.  The entire bracelet is joined together with special stretch bead cord (elastic).  The only work you will have is trying to decide which beads and charms to add!  I found the black beads in the bead section and in another section of the store I fell in love with the rhinestone encrusted separator beads.  They reminded me of art deco style jewelry.

There are so many charms to choose from in The Outlet as well.  Since they are packaged in groups, this one would cost about 75 cents.

I added my string of black beads together with a few of the rhinestone separator beads and simply tied a knot.

I have quite a bit of my supplies still left over along with my elastic.  I can start my next project now.

There are so many strands of beads in the Outlet to choose from.  Semi-precious stones are on sale this week and you could select fabulous strands to make a bracelet with.

You can create gifts for friends based on birthstone colours, favorite colours or even what is trending right now.  Simple, fast and inexpensive.

 

This past weekend The Outlet packed up a mini jewelers studio and moved into a booth at the Creativ Festival in Toronto.

Laura and Rachelle brought the most amazing selection of beads for the free Make and Take!

With a little bit of demo time, Rachelle managed to whip up this gorgeous bracelet!

The event allowed us to showcase the Outlet to people who may not have known we were reopened and bigger than ever.

Kids just love to bead!

And so do women!

It is safe to say that a great time was had!

 

 

Our new Bead and Craft Outlet is open to everyone!  There are no minimums and you do not need a business license to shop in the Outlet. 

Our Outlet is attached to our large wholesale-only warehouse facility.  When we have items that are no longer in our wholesale catalogue, are end of lines, vintage or clearance priced they end up in the Outlet.  This allows us to reinvest in new products.

Expect to save 50% and more on what you might spend at a regular retail store.  Therefore, we are in fact, always on sale! If you are 60+ every Sunday is Seniors Day with extra 5% discount on all purchases.  

With over 6,000 feet of space, our new Outlet is great for craft and beading bargain hunters, and has virtually anything needed by jewelry makers, teachers, rosary makers, designers, costumes or for anyone working with children.

We are well known for our dedication to providing unique and beautiful rosary making supplies. The native beading and dream catcher supplies have expanded. Costume-making supplies, appliqués and feathers are now merchandised in a major aisle. Bridal is bigger and the choices are plentiful.  We even have some items fishermen need!  The choices for glass, semi precious and one of kind beads are beyond compare.

We are constantly adding to our shelves and new items are added weekly.  There are thousands of items to choose from but keep in mind they change or sell out, so you may not find them on a second visit.

Over the years we have even purchased the inventory of other wholesalers who have closed and added these special and often vintage items to the Outlet shelves.

Currently we have a stunning collection of hand made jewelry being sold in the Outlet.  We purchased the contents of a European jewelry company (over 100,000 pieces), which closed overseas and brought these items to Canada.   We are making these one of a kind pieces available to you exclusively in the Outlet.  The jewelry is lead free, nickel free, and hand crafted. You will recognize some of the stunning crystals from major manufacturers, which have been incorporated into the design work.  As always, when these are sold, they will never be restocked.

If you have never been to the Outlet set-aside some time and visit soon.  If you have not visited recently allow me to say, you have no idea what you have been missing! The Outlet is even more convenient to visit because we are open Tuesday through Sunday!  We are only closed on Mondays and Public holidays.

In closing let me you remind you to fill out your free membership card when you visit, as it will entitle you to an additional 10% off.  Also, visit and like our Facebook page for special events and surprise sales!

You might be wondering why fishermen (men and women) flock to The Outlet.

They come for the plastic beads!  I didn’t realize that these little beads are used as bait and seem to attract fish to the line.

My online search indicated that bright colours are a good idea…and we sure do have bright beads!

These would be visible under water for sure!

You’ll even find glow in the dark beads in this section!
