Free beaded halloween jack-o-lantern tutorial link
I just finished another Halloween charm, it's a 3D Halloween Pumpkin Face basket charm.
I made it with orange and black glass seed beads using the right angle and triangle weave technique.
You can make it with small beads like me to hang it as charm or make it with bigger beads and use it as a Pumpkin Face Basket for your kid's trick-o-treat candy basket.

My Beading Supply Shopping Trip!

I went Beads and Jewelry accessories shopping yesterday! here's a few things I got!
Some seed beads, size 11/0 and 12/0's

Here's some online bead shopping ideas:
Blue Moon Beads Seed 11/0 18gm Ceylon Green Aurora Borealis
Blue Moon Seed Beads are made of glass that is heated to a molten state. These small beads are often used in traditional Native American jewelry. The beads are extruded to have a large hole and thin wall, and the shape is tubular. They are excellent for needle-weaving techniques because of the consistency in size and shape and because their large holes will accommodate several passes of thread. Ceylon Green Aurora Borealis


Mill Hill Glass Seed Bead 11/0 Ash Mauve
Mill Hill glass "seed" beads come in many beautiful rich colors. Made for use in jewelry,needlework projects, they also look gorgeous sewn on vests, tops, skirts, etc. Use them to make necklaces, bracelets, pins, and all sorts of crafts! Hole size 11/0 - use size 10 needle Ash Mauve- 4.54 grams

Some other jewelry and beading accessories:

Here's some online bead shopping ideas:
Blue Moon Head Pin 2" Head Pin Gold 90pc
Blue Moon head pins are primarily used for making earrings, bracelets and necklaces when a drop is needed. Each pin has a flat head at one end to keep your beads from slipping off, and comes in different thickness. The opposite end is then made into a loop. Attach this loop to an earring finding, chain or use a jump ring for your design. This finding is perfect for a quick and easy way to create fun and fashionable jewelry. 2" Head Pin Gold 90pc


Westrim Split Ring 6mm Value Pack Silver 175 pc
Split Rings can be used for key rings or attaching other items to lanyard hooks. Slide the loop of the item onto one part of the circle and bring it around two complete revolutions so it slides off to move freely in the center of the ring. This type ring holds very securely. 6mm Value Pack Silver 175 pc




Some Swarovski crystal pieces:
