THE BEAD SHOP-

Afflecks Palace, Manchester.
In my opinion one of the best shops in town.
the shop is filled to the brim with every bead you can imagine. all you do is pick up a little bowl, and get cracking. each bead has a price on, ranging from 10p to around £3. the bracelets i have made have usually ranged from £4 to £12 and are great gift ideas.
when you think your done, remember to pick up a roll of elastic from the counter- this costs around 80p for about a metre and is definitely worth it. also, elastic is a good idea as any other material may be quite wide and wont push through the holes in the beads. it is also very strong and i have only known it to snap once in all the bracelets i have made.
i'd say you need around twenty beads for one bracelet.
my favourite is the wing- i put one on every bracelet i make. i like to think it as a little angel being with you wherever you go.
you can also buy a bag of little letters, like these ones-
sorry for the blurriness, #iphone
they also do beading classes for anyone who is interested in learning professionally-
so, whether your stuck for a cute and meaningful gift idea, or you want to be a little creative, get yourself to the bead shop and grab a bowl
