We want to make Canada’s Longest Charm Bracelet!
The John Bead Outlet is sponsoring a creative and interactive booth in the children’s area at this year’s Taste of Lawrence weekend where we will be attempting to create Canada’s longest charm bracelet!
We have 100+ meters of chain we need to fill with charms, sequins, beads, buttons, pom poms and other fun embellishments. We’ll be using string, ribbon and jump rings to attach everything to the chain. No skills required! You’ll see how easy it is to make something fun and wearable using some of the craft and jewelry making supplies found in the Outlet.
Bring the children by and sign our book saying you helped to make the longest bracelet ever! The finished bracelet will be displayed in our newly expanded and renovated Bead and Craft Outlet for everyone to see.
Participation is free.
Parental supervision required for children under 12.
The John Bead and Craft Outlet is in the neighbourhood. Our Grand Re-Opening is taking place this weekend too! Do come visit!

Taste of Lawrence July 5,6,7
John Bead and Craft Outlet is a sponsor of the Taste of Lawrence International Food and Cultural Festival!
We have a special booth at this event that I will be announcing tomorrow!
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!
When you visit the new Outlet you will see a new area at the front of the store. This is our brand new cutting area.
You can buy fabulous chain by the meter. It can be cut on the spot for you!
The cutting table has also been installed to cut specialty materials by the meter as well.
Did you know we sell mylar, metallic foils, leatherette and other trims?
I would love to find a project to use this with!
With our new Outlet comes a new spokesperson!
This is Betsy and she is slowly making her way onto all of the Outlet’s printed and online materials.
Isn’t she just adorable? She is modeled after a very special Betsy.
This is the original Betsy, the John family matriarch.
I see her every time I come to John Bead! She works four days a week for the company. When I asked Mike John yesterday why it is that Betsy still comes to work he answered quite simply “she just loves all the people here and our customers.”
So if you see this lovely lady in the Outlet, say hello to Betsy!

I have some really good news!
The much-anticipated John Bead Outlet “Official Grand reopening” will take place in July and I will be supplying details about that soon.
That being said, we have had so many requests for access to shopping from our regular customers that we are going to open our doors on Wednesday May 15th in order to serve you.
Please bear with us as we are a work in progress and may still be unpacking and stocking shelves.
Our staff is ready to help you and we look forward to seeing you soon.
When I think of the Outlet, pink and yellow come to mind!
Pink and yellow are a hot trend right now.
This new wall of crystals got me very excited last week, on my walk through of the new Outlet merchandising in progress.
So many yellow crystals to choose from!
And look at all this hot pink!
Can’t wait to be shopping in The Outlet again!
