Hi, this is Julie and in this video I want to show you some items which you might classify as bead craft items or beading components basically they're fun items to use with your jewelry making supplies whether it's beads crystal clay resin 'shit ons whatever you might be working with I'm going to start by showing you some bezel cups these come in a variety of finishes and shapes and here's one example of use I took five bezel cups put a cabochon in the middle and surrounded it with rhinestone cup chain and then I linked them together via their outer loops it's a really fun easy project to do you can go ahead and glue these two headbands rings make earrings out of them a lot of different things you can do we also have wire snowflake forms this is what they look like when you get them and they usually come in a pack and then you can go ahead and dress them up with beads and just create a simple little loop at the end to hold the beads in place these are fun easy to do and really great for the holidays there are compacts so these are mirrors for your purse and with these they have a bezel front side which you can see here we've decorated with a piece of filigree chetan's and crystal clay you can also put collage art work on this and cover it in resin you could do a lot of different things with them a very similar concept is this purse hanger so this would be a purse hanger that you'd hang on a table and it too has that bezel setting which is going to allow you to do a lot of mixed media projects with it bookmarks are fun these are great gift items as you can see they've got a little hole or a loop on the end which allows you to attach beads to them in this particular example we use necklace chain extenders and we put them dangling from that little loop so that these would hang off to the side of your book pin box always very useful they come in a variety of finishes and also links and some of them have a little glue on platform and some of them just have the little traditional holes here's an example of use a little snowman bro you can see that this is using a smaller pin back than this other example I have if you want to make I glass holders we have the little rings and the loops very fun project for cell phones we've got cell phone adapters a lot of cell phones no longer have that little area for a loop to string something from the end of it so there are these cell phone adapters which fit into the headphone jack and then they've got a little loop where you can attach a charm key rings are always fun then we've got cufflinks a variety of styles and sizes some with glue on tabs some with bezel settings is a quick example of use just filled with beads so we got a big skull bead surrounded by seed beads hair accessories are always fun I'll show you a couple finished examples so this uses a glass dome some collage work and then it's glued onto the headband itself here's another example using some lucite flowers a lot of pretty choices available when it comes to hair accessories because see it's got a little alligator clip on the back or you might just want one that's a simple bobby pin as you see in this example here then moving along we have a lot of mixed media items we've got Scrabble tiles bottle caps epoxy stickers domino tiles all really fun whether you're making keychains out of them or a ring or magnets a lot of different things you can do with them and then finally glass tiles and domes so here was that example again of a glass dome being used now you have your choice of either solid glass domes or hollow ones that have a hole in it or a cut out which will allow you to do things like this where we made a little seam and then of course little bottles with cork tops are always very fun as well so please do check out the beadaholique website where you'll see all of these products listed and more ideas on how to use them you
