New beads being added to the website: Glass Pearls, Spades, Rondelles added under the Czech Glass category, Wibeduos and Dropduos coming under Two-Hole Beads. And three shipments of Czech glass Firepolish and two shipments of Japanese Delicas just came in this week to be unboxed and updated as soon as we finish our numerous bead kit requests.

Thanks so much for your support this past year. We are thrilled to have so many new people join our beading community, especially with so many new young creators joining the ranks.

Our goal in 2026 is to continue to provide as many products as we can to enable you to celebrate this craft as well as provide opportunities to share patterns, ideas and helpful tips. Looking forward to a great year!

spoilt me).

2 hole Beads - Samos beads Op Blue Turquoise Tweedy 63030 45703. Fairly certain this can be made using Preciosa Candy Beads as well, but you need to check the sizing.

Braiders love the Italian Soutache. It braids up beautifully, with a fabulous texture but still lovely and soft. Bring new colors and textures to your Kumi designs with Italian Luxury Soutache!

As promised, our leather has been added to our website. But, as usual, our local customers cleaned us out of many 1mm colors. Another shipment is due at the end of this week. We so appreciate everyone supporting our small business. Thank you!

And we so, so love the wonderful colors from Leather Cord USA. See all we have here https://www.beadstreetonline.com/shop-65
