Do you ever find yourself wishing you could just sit down and do a simple
project with all of the materials assembled for you? That you don't have to
comb through the stores or your own supplies but it's all together for you?
If so I've got something new you might enjoy. Hi there, Sandy here, welcome to
another Friday findings video at keepsakecrafts.net. So there is a new
subscription service in town and it's called the Facet Jewelry Box. This is
something new by the folks from Bead and Button magazine. This is actually the
first month that they're putting it out and they sent me a couple to show you.
What's really cool is that you actually have two choices, you can choose one or
the other or both. There's basic stringing and then there's also
stitching. Now you know me, I make videos every week. I come up with my own ideas
so sometimes it's nice to really not have to think about it and just get
something that you can put together without any thought. I do kind of like
kits for that reason on occasion. So this is obviously the stitching kit and in
every box you get two projects. I really like the box,
it's a nice size. I like this little divider and you can take it out if you
don't want it but I think this will be fantastic to save for later,
for tucking away a project where you have assembled all of your materials or
you're working on putting together something. So you get everything you need
to make the project except, of course, the tools, and every project comes with a
little instruction book. So this is the rondelle pendant necklace
and you get step-by-step directions showing you how to put it together,
really nice clear photos and they even reference videos that they have on their
website that will show you how to do these steps if you're a newbie, but even
if you're not new, if you're an old hand at this sometimes it's just fun to get
new ideas and inspirations, maybe combinations you wouldn't have thought
of. I don't do a ton of bead stitching so this looks like a fun and interesting
way of doing it, that's really cool. These are stitched links that all link
together to make a bracelet. So you get the fireline that you need and the
beads . I looks like you get a needle, that's nice. So this is for the bracelet,
so that's nice everything for each project is in its own baggie and it's
labeled clearly what they are and, yep, there's the needle, and all of your
little your clasps and your jump rings and the different sizes, the seed beads.
And this is for the necklace, you
get your crystal rondelles, seed beads, wire and a needle and the findings.
These are $24.95 if you only order one month and then the more you order the
less they go down to the lowest I believe is $23 for a month which is
pretty good if you consider that you've got everything to make two complete
projects. You don't have to spend money on gas, on shipping, it's all put together
and you've got the great, these great instructions that you can continue to
use later on to make your own projects from stuff in your stash. This reminds me
of the Pearl Party bracelet that I made. I'll have a link to that up in the upper
right here for you, but it's in necklace form and just like the other ones you
get everything you need: the findings, the beads and there's some quartz briolettes
to make a pair of wire wrapped earrings. Here's the first of the projects that I
completed, this is the one that they call the pearl cascade necklace and I enjoyed
making it. It was a bit time-consuming, there are 39 little bead dangles here.
They had really good directions for making a simple loop so if you're new to
beading the directions were easy to follow. I did however make one according
to their directions and then I got out my One Step Looper which I highly
recommend for any project with this many loops, but I'm rather pleased with it.
None of the materials are particularly expensive, they're really on the cheaper
side, but for somebody who's learning & just wants to do a simple project this
is a nice one. It came with a few extra head pins which is nice because they're
already kind of hard and actually a few broke on me. If you have to tweak them
back and forth too much to get them closed
some of them snapped, so I was glad for the extras. Aouple
extra jump rings, good directions, lots of tips, so a nice project all in all. I will
say one of the things about a service like this is that you don't necessarily
get colors that you would choose, maybe you end up with things that aren't your
favorites, that can be good in that it maybe gets you out of your comfort,
comfort zone. Of course you always have the directions and the design so you can
go ahead and make it again and again using the materials that you have in
your own stash. In fact, what I did here on the directions you can see I actually
wrote how many were in each package so that if I want to redo it I know just
how many they used to get that nice cascade effect. The other project in this
package were these earrings, and these were fun, they were so quick. This one was
kind of time-consuming making all the loops and then attaching all of them to
the chain took a while. These I actually learned something new, I learned a new
way of messy wrapping briolettes and I probably made these two earrings in
under 10 minutes. The only complaint I had was that the wire came wrapped on a
card when it probably should have come on a spool because it had to be
straightened and that wasn't anywhere in the directions so if somebody was a
total beginner they may not have done that and they may have ended up
disappointed with their results. That's kind of a wire wrapping basic that you
want to straighten your wire and usually it comes on spools so that it isn't
quite so badly kinked as this was. All in all I thought this was a fun box to get
in the mail if you are a beading beginner. What I kept thinking of was that this
would be great if there's a person in your life or somebody in your
life who wants to learn how to make jewelry this would be a nice gift or
something for you to work on together because everything is all assembled.
That was the stringing box, then here's what I've managed to do with the
stitching box. So just like the other one there are two projects in here. I
completed one but this one is will take a while. This one was pretty... not
complicated, but just very time-consuming, but this one was kind of fun. You can see
that I decided to change the colors they had the blue rondelles
which I used but I didn't really care for the clear beads. Here are the clear beads
they sent and I just decided I wanted to do something different and so I pulled
some 11/0s because it said in the directions that they were 11/0 I could
get some out of my stash and use them and I'm much happier with this. And this
is a fun project. The directions were excellent for right angle weave which
isn't something I've done before and I enjoyed making this simple little
pendant. The stringing is extremely basic and I thought the directions for adding
the crimps and the clasp were really good. So I've got a cute little necklace
very simply done and that was a nice fun project. So I
don't know if it always works this way but in both boxes there was one project
that was fairly quick and one that was kind of time-consuming. I don't know if
they planned it that way. I wanted to just tell you a few things about this it
was nice you got some extra crimps, crimp covers and jump rings which was nice cuz
you know how these things do tend to travel under your table and disappear. I
was disappointed, the needle that I got in this kit the eye was like closed up and
then when I tried to poke something through to open it it bent. So I ended up
just pulling out my own big eye needles. The thing about this project, like I only got
this far. This took, I don't know, these links take a while and the directions
said you were gonna make 21 for a bracelet , oh! So I got this far on it.
These beads are so close, these are 11s and these are 15s and a beginner might
not realize that 15s are smaller than 11s, so don't get confused. If you need to
pour some out in your workspace and leave the bag right there above them so
you know which is which, because it's kind of important in getting the shape
that you want for your tubular peyote stitch to use the correct ones. And again,
this one came with all the findings that you need including quite a few extra
jump rings and really good instructions. This is not any kind of bead stitching
that I've ever done and the directions were very clear. There were great
diagrams and I really enjoyed doing it. If you enjoy having kits all put
together, having the materials assembled, perhaps you don't like shopping for
beads, or you don't want to have much of a stash of leftovers, this might be a
service that you would enjoy. I'm a fairly experienced jewelry maker and, as
you know, I like to come up with my own designs, so I don't know that this is
something that would subscribe to on a regular basis. I
enjoyed putting together these projects today and I thought that they were
thoughtfully done with interesting projects and good instructions. If you
want to learn more you can go to my blog post, there's always a link in the
upper-right of the video and also down below in the description box and I'll
have more information there. So thanks for watching, happy creating,
bye bye.
