Beautiful Beaded Birthday Presents - January 2019
Approximate $ Savings: $20 or even more
I recently had two birthday parties to attend. I considered buying each friend a present which cost $20 each, but that would total $40. In the end, I made each friend a piece of beaded jewellery. I was able to save a bundle of money and my friends love their handmade gifts. If you don't know how to make beaded jewellery, you can learn how to make it, or any craft from various websites or classes. You can purchase the materials from junk stores, Spotlight, Lincraft or craft stores. Sometimes the staff in these places can even give you good tips.

Editor's note: Look at the jewellery in op shops for beautiful beads and baubles. You can often get them for just a few cents each, saving a fortune on buying beads. If you take them apart carefully you can reuse the clasps and even the wire, saving even more money. Vintage style beads are expensive to buy from craft shops, so why not get true vintage for under $1 at an op shop? Cath
