Each ornament kit comes with everything you need to make a great ornament!

There are several ornament kits to choose from at BeadBuddies.net and they probably have hundreds of different beads and crystals. The ornament kits are complete with the beads, supplies and instructions, so you can get started right away. Whether you are an accomplished artist or a beginner looking for a rainy day project, you will be very pleased with the kits. The ornament kits range in difficulty from beginners level to advanced, so there is something for everyone.

Owners Rod and Kim offer discounts when the ornament kits are purchased in multiples, so making ornaments could turn into a fun family, club, or classroom project. Once you have mastered a couple of their kits, you may want to mix it up a little and use the same ornament pattern with different colors of beads, or you can come up with your own ornament designs using the beads and crystals at BeadBuddies.net.

When you are thinking about ideas for ornaments, don’t forget all of the possibilities for making wearable ornaments using the gorgeous beads and crystals. Rod and Kim like the potential of the semi-precious stones. They say that the patterns in each stone are really amazing and can lure you in. Rod’s favorite stone is Red Tiger Eye and Kim really likes Bronzite and Crazy Lace Agate.

Rod and Kim Connors own and operate BeadBuddies.net out of Gray, Georgia. Kim has been beading for over 18 years and she and Rod started their business because they had trouble finding the beads they needed at reasonable prices. In their search for quality and beautiful beads for their ornaments, they discovered that other ornament designers were looking for beads as well. They decided to go right to the manufacturers and make beads for ornaments available for hobbyists and artists online. The Connors are true beaders and they use the beads they sell.

Rod and Kim really make a great team! One of the advantages that they have is that they have all of their beads hanging up in their Georgia office. They can easily try different combinations together until they find what they like. They also have done about 100 different craft shows, and that gives them a good feel for what ornament crafters and beaders are looking for in designs, beads and crystals.
