How many times have you wasted hours on searching for that perfect gift, only to decide on something entirely overpriced after an excruciating five hours of finding nothing that felt right for the occasion?
How many dollars have you wasted paying way too much for an item that was worth only half of what you were paying, simply out of desperation?
How many times have you wished you had a skill to hand design a gift for giving, for any occasion?
Well perceived beading is just what you need. With handmade beaded jewelry you can personally design the perfect gift for any occasion, be it a birthday, Christmas, baby shower, or even a wedding, specific to the receivers' tastes.
The prime advantage of handmade jewelry as a gift, is that it is cost effective. Conduct a test. Find a beaded necklace at one of your local retailers, say one made from turquoise, noting the materials used and of course, the price. Then visit your local hobby shop to price out the turquoise beads needed to make the same thing. Better yet, price them out online as you will get a much better price than locally. You will find that you will be able to create the same piece for a third of the cost. That alone is reason enough to consider making your own beaded jewelry to give as gifts.
Need more incentive? Then consider the personal touch that makes a handmade gift so much more special than one that is store bought. By giving the gift of something you laboriously made by hand shows the recipient that you cared enough to take the time to find just the right items needed for your gift; you took the time to find just the right colors that you knew where their favorites. And you beloved love into designing the finished products. I for one can honestly say I have always been more touched by presents from the heart than candidates from an assembly line.
And finally there is the appeal of your handmade gift becoming a treasured keepsake to be passed down over generations. I myself have a rosary that was given to my grandmother by my great grandmother on her wedding day. The rosary was handmade by my great grandmother from soybeans of all things, but it is beautiful and full of character and unforgettable stories, and it means more to me than the strand I have of cultured pearls. That above all else should be enough enough for making your own handmade beaded jewelry for gift giving.
So the next time you are faced with a blank wall of what to give your niece on her graduation day, or your sister at her bridal shower, or even your granddaughter for being accepted onto the softball team, remember how beautiful handmade beaded jewelry can be , and how easy and fun it is to make.
Handmade beaded jewelry is a gift of joy for both the giver and the receiver to be treasured for a lifetime.
