Bead Mixes, Blends & Palettes! Great Instant Color Collections for DIY Jewelry Design

There are many aspects to jewelry design—from the original concept to choosing supplies to creating the actual piece. One challenge can be settling on a color palette and figuring out what will look good together. This is one area that people get stumped on but there is happily a little jewelry making hack that makes it a snap! If you use a bead mix or blend as a jumping off point, you can use that as your main color palette and then supplement findings and extra beads accordingly. This is a great way to know that everything will look good once combined and you can have a little sneak peak of what it will look like before you even begin. 

Blends, Mixes and Designer Color Palettes are also a good value, which is always nice! 

Here are some of our very favorite blends, mixes, and palettes:

I have been doing this for years! In fact I have bracelets and earrings in colors that match most of my printed tops and dresses. Not hard to do when you have the huge stash of beads that I do. I love your videos although I’m usually not able to watch them live and you’ve inspired me to do different things (and to buy more beads, of course) 😁
