Jazz Up Your Wardrobe With Beads, Bobbles, Rhinestones and Crystals (Glass beads wholesale)

Tip! The use of prayer beads is popular in many religions. Catholics identify their prayer beads as a rosary.

Flip through the pages of that fashion catalogue you just received and you’ll find summer blouses embroidered with beads, sequins, and rhinestones. Skim through the pages with sandals displayed and you’ll discover many are adorned with chunky glass and metal bobbles. Even ladies accessories – everything from watches to sparkly bracelets, earrings, and necklaces – are decorated with shiny crystals.

This season it seems that everything is embellished with beads, bobbles, rhinestones, and crystals. Unfortunately, most of us don’t have the financial means to purchase an entirely new wardrobe every year to reflect the newest fashion craze. But that’s okay.

Do you have a favorite item of clothing, or an accessory, you love but think is out-of-date? Rather than give away this item, or throw it out, why not revamp it with embellishments? It’s fun and easy. Here’s how:

Tip! – Never attempt to make your own anal beads. The anal beads made by adult toy manufactuers are heavy duty and high quality, designed for their specific purpose.

A jeans jacket is timeless and can easily take on a new look with a few changes. Even if your jacket is faded, embroider a simple pattern of beads along the collar and cuffs to get new mileage out of it. If you prefer rhinestones, Swarovski Crystals offers sew-on products. These crystals are enclosed in a setting that allows a needle and thread through the back. Just sew them on as you would a button. Don’t sew? Both beads and rhinestones can be attached to your garment using special glues available for these kinds of projects.

Give your old sandals a new look with metal studs or add a splash of color with rhinestones. Using gem setting devices (found at your local crafts store) you can clamp both metal studs and rhinestones through tough materials like leather. If your sandals are plastic, glue the embellishments onto them.

Tip! Modern jewelry and beading certainly benefits from the advances made in the production of beads, but there’s no doubt that even today, an individually handcrafted bead can be the star attraction of any beading piece.

Nothing is easier to make over than a purse. It doesn’t matter if it’s fabric or leather, you can quickly modify purses made of either material. Spiff up a purse by tacking a few studs onto the handle or gluing a pattern of beads or rhinestones onto the bag itself. Or, just hang a few bobbles from the strap. Do an online search for the words “beads” or “crystals” and see numerous sites pop up that offer these items for purchase. With such a variety of trimmings available, it’s simple to give a face-lift to an old, yet beloved, purse.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to revamping pieces of your wardrobe. And, with so many handy tools and fantastic embellishments available and reasonably priced, anyone can do it.

Tip! Bone beads: Meant for fashion lovers with ethnic and tribal tastes. These beads are made from bones of mammals and birds etc to reflect a tribal affinity.

Now…just flip through the pages of that latest fashion catalogue for ideas, get your supplies, and have fun.
