Crafters May Want To Try Vintage Beads Wholesale

By Larry Schmidt


For a lot of designers, mixing things up and straying away from tradition is not only a form of creative expression but can promote sales. When designs from the past are brought to the present, it can be quite a statement when customers are not expecting it. However, before investing in vintage beads wholesale, it helps to find out whether this may be of interest to current customers.

Beads like sequins, sew in, and wood is great for adding to collars, as decorative trim, or as part of a waistband give dresses and other pieces great contrast. Vintage pieces can add a special touch to plain shirts and blouses. Most designers will find the array, which ranges from abstract design to wire, can give some pieces a dressy look.

Beads can be used to complete a room theme and the best way to find these is to look up patterns and styles that were popular in a certain decade. Some designs, like animal prints and polka dots, seem to return every few years. Then again, there are others, such as camouflage or chevron, that never appear to go away entirely but experience a popularity surge at some point.

Finding the right design for usage can either be a mix of contrasts or something uniform. For instance, vintage shell and bone beads, which are angular in shape and come in various shades of brown and gray, may look good in a room that either has a tribal decor or use earth tones. However, they may not look bad in a room with simple design but the walls are painted in a bold color.

Depending on the brand an independent jewelry maker has created for themselves, choosing the right products is important. While a person may desire to add quirky or trendy pieces made from acrylic or plastic, if the rest of their inventory is elegant or earthy, this could be a business fail. The best place to find inspiration may be fashion books and magazines from a particular era.

Some beads and fabric trims can be used to create a look that either defines a specific period in fashion or something out of the ordinary. For instance, German floral passion buttons or findings may be used with denim outfits. If a dressmaker wanted to branch out into home decor accessories, they may also find some inspiration when looking through an online catalog

There are also pieces that can be used to make older clothes look new. This is a tidy business some crafters are getting into where they look for the best pieces to redesign quickly before selling on their personal site or page. They may get items from friends or family members, as well as thrift stores and yard sales.

The best way to tell if this would be good for business, the crafter may want to try renovating their old items. They can add dyes, fabric sparkles, and trims to complement the beads. Another idea would be to create several types of jewelry using different kinds of beads, If they get a positive reaction from other, either live or online, this can be the green light needed to proceed further.
