Did You Know?
All of our kits are hand made and produced locally--
right from our 50th & France store!
All of our kits begin as just a twinkle in the eye of Tina, owner
of TBM or Suzy, Kit Coordinator. We bring all of our designs to
reality by working with Katie, our buyer, to find all of the
highest quality products available. We track down kit pieces
from all over the country and the world to bring you the best!
Once all of the necessary pieces arrive, master packer Miracle
counts beads and cuts wire to give each kit the parts it needs.
When all of the bags are ready, Dana packages and ties them
off with raffia to indicate the colorway.
We have been making and selling our own brand of beading
kits for 13 years. During this time we have tested and sold over
120 different types of kits. We currently offer over 60 styles!
Our kits make the hobby more approachable and we love
bringing them to you!
