DIY my Style ABC Beads - bead set with 1,100 beads and cord

Description

The ABC Beads box from DIY my Style is a bead set for stringing your own bracelets and necklaces. The tray has a compartment for each sort: white and coloured letter beads, cubes with letters, number beads, hearts in various colours, round beads in red and purple, small rocailles and separate letter charms. Beside them lie bundles of cord in a range of colours.

The fun is in the names. With the letter beads you spell out a first name, a word or a message and string it in between the coloured beads. The box shows examples with LOVE, SWEET, THANKFUL and HAPPY; the packaging speaks of more than 40 designs.

The box gives 1,100 beads and carries a 3+ roundel. Everything sits in a tray with fixed compartments, so the sorts stay apart and whatever is left goes back in after the crafting. The box measures roughly 30 by 30 cm.

A present for children who like crafting and making jewellery, and a set two or three of them can work on at once - there is more than enough material.
