Great for Grandmothers' bracelets
Date:November 18, 2011
Pros: Size, Price, Versatile, Unique, Ease of Use, Quality, Color
Creation: Grandmother bracelet with child's name, birthstone Swarovski crystals and assorted silver and gold beads.
"I make a lot of gifts of grandmothers' bracelets and with the price of silver going up, these letter beads are not only a fantastic buy, but also perfect for this type of bracelet. I have never been disappointed with any supplies I have received from Artbeads, and order from no other company."

"I use the alphabet beads to create bracelets for new Moms. I make a 2 strand bracelet, one strand for the parents' first names and the second strand for the baby's. I intersperse with pink or blue beads as appropriate. The new Mom loves it, since most of her gifts are for baby."

Perfect for Newborn Keepsake Bracelets
Date:May 12, 2010
Reviewer Images
(click to see full-size image)
Pros: Price, Size
Other beading styles or techniques: Stringing
Creation: Bracelets
"These letter beads are so small and sleek that they are perfect for making tiny little keepsake bracelets for newborns, or making multi-name bracelets for Grandma! I love that they lay flat on the wrist, too, instead of being bulky like the cube letter beads can be. I only gave them a 4 Bead rating on quality because on occasion, a bead's letter will not have the black contrast completely filing the impression. This is rare, though, as it has only happened to two beads of the dozens I have ordered."
