On orders over 20 pounds, USPS rates go through the roof. If you're seeing crazy-high postage rates at checkout on big orders for sheet glass, scrap and other heavy items, that's why. In many cases, I can split your order into multiple boxes to save you a ton on postage. I can often ship at cubic rates for additional savings. Excess postage is refunded when I print your label. I don't profit from postage and I ship at commercial rates.

Retirement discount: 10% off all orders over $100. Many items are now priced lower than dealer cost. Discount will automatically apply. No codes or coupons necessary.

After almost 26 years in business, I will be winding down for retirement over the next few months. If you see it, grab it. I sell out of dozens of items each day. Over half my inventory is sold. But, there are still thousands of items in stock. CPI molds are almost sold out. So are many colors of sheet glass and frits. I'm still making precuts, but discontinuing some of those styles as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by! All items are in stock and ready to ship.

Project Guide: Add a Bead Memo Holders

January 31, 2018

This is a project that couldn't be easier.

1. Source some one of a kind beads with a hole that's approximately 2mm. I found great color-themed beads at Hobby Lobby. I used one "WOW" bead surrounded by two coordinating beads for each holder.

Click here for the holders.

2. Arrange the beads on the mandrel. You can use silicone to keep the beads in place, but it's not necessary.

3. Enjoy!

Variations: weave lace or ribbon between the beads. Do seasonal or theme displays with lampworked animal beads, holiday beads or beads that represent a particular season.
