Katiedids Creative Components by Katie Hacker

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm partnering with Beadalon on a new line of co-branded products for beading. I designed these components to give beaders the power to completely customize your designs - right down to the findings! Each piece provides a channel-set effect for beads, flatbacks, fibers, polymer clay, resin, and more. The sticks and scallops make great earrings or dangles and the circles are perfect for pendants. The channels in the components provide a framework, but you make it yours.

Katiedids(tm) Creative Components Stringing Collection
Three packages of my linear components: short stick (8), long stick (6), scallop (7) for $20.99.

Katiedids(tm) Creative Components Pendant Collection
Four packages of my circle components: donut (6), donut with back (5), donut with bezel (5), double circle pendant (3) for $27.99.
