Artbeads Chief Jewelry Designer Cynthia Kimura loves using spacer beads in her jewelry and she wants to inspire everyone to use them in their projects. Some of us here at Artbeads had a beading party with beads chosen by Cynthia to show how creative everyone can be with spacers.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
