Along with all of the fabrics and haberdashery items that we sell, a lot of our customers visit us both in-store and on the web to purchase items for Crafts projects that they are working on. One of the most popular types is jewellery-making, which we stock a number of ranges full of items that are perfect for this purpose.

In the past few months we have worked on expanding our range of beads, so that our customers have more choice when it comes to their own individual Crafts projects. Now that our selection is much bigger, every jewellery-maker from the novice to the expert can achieve a unique look, no matter what colour, size or type of beads they are after.
As with any project, you will need the right tools – fortunately you can find everything you will need here at Calico Laine. From pliers sets to wire cutters and screwdriver sets, we strive to stock every tool you would use in any jewelry-making project. We also keep a good selection of findings and charms in store, including lobster clasps, screw clasps and crimp beads, so whatever your preferred fastening is on your necklaces and bracelets, you will be able to use them in your own pieces as well.

Jewellery-making is a wonderful skill because hand-made items are always a great gift, and your own pieces can be made truly unique and special to suit the receiver. If you are feeling really adventurous, why not try turning your hobby into a business and sell your pieces at a Crafts fair or even online?
Have you ever made any of your own jewellery pieces for yourself or a friend? Take a photograph and upload it to our Facebook page – we love to see the results of our customers’ projects!
