Creative Habitat

Bead It

When you think of beading, you really ought to think of us. Why? We're glad you asked. Creative Habitat has beads, that's why. No, not just plastic pony beads to do kids crafts (though we do have those, too. Aisle 24, if you're looking), but tons of beads, from the Dress It Up bead company to the prestigious Swarovski Crystals. Organized beautifully on a beaded wall of color, it'll be easier than ever to find coordinating beads to match your new favorite shirt.

If you're really into beading, then you know that it's not just about the beads, it's about the accessories (that's so true with everything). Without the tools, the Beadalon, the crimps and clasps, you've got nothing to hold those beads together! We've got all those things, too. And if you're itching to bead but lacking inspiration, you'll be happy to find books of bright ideas and a helpful associate. No need to thank us; it's just what we do.

What's the best thing about us? New stuff is coming in all the time!  One of our favorites are findings from TierraCast. If you haven't heard of TierraCast yet, then you'll be the first of our friends to know about this great American company that produces lead-free and food-grade quality materials. That means jewelry that's safe for your kids.

Oh, one more thing! You won't want to miss BAM, our Beaders Anonymous Meeting. Bring your beads, bring your tools, and bring home a happy feeling. On the first and third Wednesdays of the month, it's the place where beaders get their fix.

New for June!
