Snacky Donut Necklaces!
I was pondering a project to post here today when I wandered off to look at the many new entries to our Beading Contest that have not yet been posted. The complexity of many of the pieces that have been submitted makes the ones we currently have posted in our Projects & Tutorials section look fairly simple to make. That’s actually a good thing, since we are providing them largely for beginning beaders who are looking for a more structured way to approach design projects.
As I was looking at the choices we do have, it occured to me that sometimes the simplest designs can be wonderfully rewarding for everyone. For example, you can put a simple necklace together quickly with something like a gemstone donut and leather or rattail cord and wear it immediately. Did you know we offer gemstone donuts in more than 50 different types of semi-precious gemstones? And, in about 10 different styles and sizes? We also offer Sterling Silver and new Copper Donut Bails, which allow you to easily switch out the donuts on your necklaces!
The ever popular 40mm Gemstone Donuts in the picture below are available in 22 different gemstones.

The next picture shows one of our five different types of Sterling Silver Donut Bails for 40mm Donuts.

Get yourself a donut, a bail, some cord and a clasp (if you don’t already know how to tie sliding knot), and you are all set! Great style for almost any casual outfit. Done in minutes, for a minimal investment.
