Glass Bead Making Kits

No matter what your level of skill or experience, we have some Bead Making Kits for you.


Beginner Starter Kits

We offer 3 choices of Starter kits (Good, Better, and Best) which include all "the must-have basics plus some "extras" to get you started in bead making. However, you will need to purchase a cylinder of Mapp gas which is usually available at your local hardware store. We purposely loaded these Starter Kits with a bit more. It's much easier to learn when you have "more" of the right tools, rather than missing something you've used before in a studio that was so handy, but you don't have it for yourself at home.
