Happy Halloween from the Bead Doctor
Spooky Halloween Fun!
Greetings beady people! If you are a regular follower of Bead Barmy, you will know that I absolutely love dressing up. I cannot resist an opportunity for fancy dress. I started planning my Halloween outfit at the start of September, so when these fantastic Halloween pumpkin and skull beads came in it made my day. This Halloween I am going to a ‘Murder, Mystery Weekend’ which, I am sure, will be full of things that go bump in the night. If I survive, I will be back with my next tutorial soon!
These stone beads are our suitably spooky October mix of the month so grab them while you can! Take a look at the Beads Unlimited Halloween page for these and many more creepy beads.
