Are these cool or what?!!Our fun and talented bead blogger friend, Katie Hacker, has teamed with Beadalon to design a line of great new components!
You might know Katie from her NUMEROUS books or seen her on the PBS television show, "Beads, Baubles & Jewels".
She previously had a segment on the show and has just been named the new host, HOW EXCITING!
I am honored to have received a preview of one of the new component
pieces in her Beadalon line!These are silver plated, 2-hole sticks, and there are 6 in the package!
I'm thinking 6 single pendants for me and my friends OR a long pendant using 3 for me and ONE friend :)
I was even thinking this could be made into a fabulous focal bead in a bracelet!
There are so many possibilities and I can't wait to start really thinking about it!
I was very impressed with the packaging! When you open the Katiedids, the package turns into a tri-fold sheet of colorful step-by-step instructions!I just received these in the mail today, so I haven't had a chance to get creative. I'll keep you posted!
Have a GREAT weekend!

They look interesting. I have not seen any Katiedids in my local stores, although I do see other Beadalon products. Do they plan on getting them into stores?
Dear Lisa, I have these too and I love them so much I preview them in AU Beading! I think she did a super job!

Hi there! Here is the info I have received about where to find these components: For more information about where to find Katiedids, the information I received suggests asking your favorite bead shop or supplier to carry them for you; check out the website www.beadalon.com or call toll fre 866-423-2325.
I have some on their way that I can't wait to fill with polymer clay! They are truly creative components that can be used in a huge variety of ways. Can't wait for my chance to play with them!
You lucky lady. They look very interesting and fun. Have fun with them.
Thanks so much for telling people about my new components, Lisa! I've been sharing projects with them over on my blog at KatieHacker.com, too.
To answer the commenters who are asking where they can purchase: Beadalon just introduced the components in their recent catalog, so it takes a while for stores to see and order them. They will be more widely available in the coming months. People can also order them on the Shop page on my site.
