Very Thick 6mm,4mm,3mm,2mm,1mm. Black Real Leather Cord. Thong-ing.
This is a buy it now for genuine real leather cord.
We have it in the usual 1mm, 2mm and 3mm but also have it in 4mm and massive 6mm (nearly as thick as a pencil).
It can all be use for jewellery making but the 6mm size could be used as handles to bags, drawers, bracelets/wrist bands, belt, horse adornments etc.
I have not noticed any joins and have tugged it to see if it comes apart but over a 3 metre length noticed no problems in strength.
Please note I am not selling it as a strong item but as a decorative item that seems pretty strong. (Don’t tie a anvil to the ceiling with it).
Since this is new and dyed it is possibly worth cleaning with a cloth to remove any residue from the dying and to give it a final shine.

Well it’s been ages since I updated this blog and that mainly to do with cracking on with ebay.
If I’m not packing items up for delivery I’m trying to get more items onto it.
Near enough everything else is out the window which is why I haven’t added more content.
Tonight I needed to get away from it and relax a bit so I thought I’d write a bit here.
Because of the demands made by ebay I now shut Friday to help me devote more time to it.
Opening hours are
Tuesday 10 to 5
Wednesday 10 to 2
Thursday 10 to 5
Saturday 10 to 5
Just a rundown on the holiday.
Went on the helium ballon in Bournemouth.
Went to Brownsea Island, Poole to see the Red squirrels.
Last day washed out so went indoors to Beaulieu motor museum.
One of the question often asked is “How is business?”
Business has changed quite a lot in the last 2 year.
There is obviously less money around so people are buying more shrewdly. Where before they would come in and buy several metres of a fabric so they had more than enough, now they are measuring up and calculating what they need. There are still some people who buy the old way by over guesstimating what they need, but they are few on the ground.
To keep our cost down we have now started shopping around to get the best prices on fabrics. Where we use to have one main supplier we now use three to get the best possible prices.
We try to help our customers by selling fabric by the quarter metre. Some places make you buy by the meter. School projects become a major expense when lots of small pieces are required but whole metres have to be purchased.
There has also been a change in the fabrics we now keep in order to keep the price down. Pattern fur like cheetah, zebra, giraffe etc have recently had a dramatic price increase. To counter this we now sell velboa animal print as an alternative. This is a very short pile fabric, like velvet which although not as hairy as the fur still looks very attractive and in a lot of case nicer than the fur. I’m sure we will be selling lots for school plays, pantomimes and new years eve parties.
Christmas is just around the corner and we have started to sell our Christmas print fabrics along with the usual felt, fur, tartans and poly-cottons.
These can be used to make Christmas stocking, table mats, bunting for walls and Christmas trees, tree decorations, napkins aprons.
We have a selection of ribbons from 7mm to 50mm which have the Christmas theme. These include plain gold/red, green/red to ribbons often bought by card makers which have prints of trees, snowmen, bauble, snowflakes printed on them. Most are wired so can be tied into a bow and placed onto presents, wreaths, trees etc to welcome in the festive season.
We have now been doing T-Shirt printing for a few month and it has been very popular.
Great for special occasions and also work wear.
We can offer a complete service where we get your order and give you back the finished garment.
We also offer a service where we can cut out your design and you can affix the design using a household iron. This works out cheaper and also means you can attach the design to what you want, when you want. Great for businesses that need to buy in bulk and use when necessary.
We give good discounts for larger orders.
Turnaround is usually a few days although we aim to do most orders for the next day.

This time of year we get a few boat owner in trying to update their boats.
Boats are the most complicated to do a good template as the foam is often curved and they have an angle where they meet the hull.
Her is the procedure for making a template.
1. using newspaper or wall paper make the template of the cushionso it fits nicely on the bed/seat.
2. Decide on the size of foam required. Once you know this get books and layer them so the come to the same height as the foam.
3. Put these books at one end of the paper and put against the hull.
4. Measure between the edge of the books and the hull using a rule placed on top of the books.
5. Mark this length on the template.
6. Repeat down the template every 12″.
7. We now have a template for us to follow.
Ok sorry for the long delay since the last post but thats because a lot has gone on.
Highlights for last week were doing 180 T-shirts for my daughters school for their “Save the rain forest” awareness week.
They wanted 8 different rain forest animals attached to t shirts they had bought. This they wanted ASAP so the design of each animal was kept as basic as possible. Manage to cut and attach the vinyl to the shirts within a day.
 Over the next couple of weeks we will be increasing our range of flags.
There will be an increase in country flags.
We will have some celebration ones like “baby boy”, happy birthday.
A range of pirate flags (which are always popular).
Historical like Richard the lion heart.
Patriotic and political like ensigns, Europe, NATO.
 We just taken delivery of our new DMC stand.
It contains
The complete range of
DMC Mouline Stranded Thread
36 shades of Variations
36 shades of Light Effects
36 shades of Satin threads.
We will have them on-line asap and there will be a discount if you buy more than one item per colour. This should make us one of the cheapest on the Internet.
 Since we are thinking about getting a new shop, and we found out that Hobbycraft was going to have a large retail outlet within a couple miles, I thought we would goto our nearest Hobbycraft and have a look at the competition. I went in with apprehension thinking about how the big boys would be cheaper and better but whilst in there found that they mostly were not.
So here’s my top 10 reason to shop at us (or maybe a smaller craft shop near you) rather than Hobbycraft.
- Although their fabric range covered a large area the actual fabric was minimal. They had about 5 colours of polycotton we have at least 20. They had a 4 rolls of felt where we stock around 20. Vinyl, we stock about 25 they had about 5. Dress net we stock about 20 colours they had about 10. Most people are often after as near a match as possible. In the polycotton range they had 1 blue. We have around 5 from baby blue to navy. Just because it’s bigger doesn’t mean your going to get the variety you expect.
- I guess we’re all conscious about prices especially in todays climate. I found a fair mix of cheaper items than what we sell, more expensive prices that we sell items at, and some the same. Here are a couple of items we sell cheaper. Fimo, Gutermann beads, Gutermann threads, some fabrics, button (they only sold them on packets which made them more expensive and you had to usually buy two packs of 4 even if you only wanted to buy 5. Just because it’s bigger does not make it cheaper.
- From what I saw every thing was sold by the meter. In our shop we will sell you the amount you want. If you want quarter of a meter of satin fabric as you want to make a backing to a scarf we will sell you that amount. Even at a sometimes more expensive price we can still be cheaper.
- Service. I won’t say I’m brilliant but most of our customers know they can always count on us for helpful service. If you are looking for something we will always give it 100% in showing you all the alternatives. Perhaps your looking for velcro for a duvet but are not sure, i will point out your options, popper, snap tape, buttons, zips. We’re always there to give you help.
- Unusual items. As you can see from our ecliptic range of items we are not your run of the mill stockist. We are always sourcing our products from many sources. We have the more off beat items along with the common. We are often called a treasure trove because of the range we stock. Bigger doesn’t mean better.
- Whilst at Hobbycraft I saw a great deal. It was “Buy 2 get a 3rd for free …..£1.50 each” and on the shelf was a very large bottle of PVA glue. Cheaper than I could buy them for my shop of the wholesalers. We wandered round and saw this offer a few times. It was only when we came to a stand that had a few different sized PVA glues on it that we took a closer look at the sign. The fine print said “from”. The £1.50 pot of glue was so small it would have lasted 5 minutes. The larger one was £7-£8. Needless to say we didn’t get any. It must be embarrassing for a customer who picks up th large expecting to pay £3 but get charged £15. We will always be straight on prices.
- Hobbycrafts to me is shop that is there to make money. That’s it. It stocks the basic lines that bring in the money and the local specialist craft shop is left “Surviving”. From what I’ve gathered most crafter won’t use hobbycarft, much preferring to support their local friendly shop. They know they can get some of their items there at the same price, but when they want specialist parts for their hobby, hobbycraft is very limited. Crafter buy all their craft items from their local supplier as it keeps them in business allowing them to do their crafts in full.
- Service. Done this one already. Sorta. A couple of years back after the Christmas shopping in Crawley we decided to go to Hobbycarft. One customer had a query about a price that they had promoted in the store but at the checkout the customer was told bluntly the price ticket was right and no matter what the sign said on the shelf she would not honor it. What got up the customers nose was they were not even willing to look at the sign in the store to check the price. Needless to say they lost a sale and a customer.
- We negotiate. If you want to buy items in bulk or if there a price you’ve seen, tell us and we will try to price match or offer you a discount for buying in bulk. Try and do that in Hobbycraft. We are flexible in price.
- Not really a proper reason but request to try us and see for yourself.
We have lots of satisfied customers and are always looking for ways for us to grow. You can help us by….
- If you have bought from us and have liked the prices or service please link to us with a comment about us. This can either be by a direct link from your website, tweet, blog, face book or if you participate in a forum by mentioning us with a link. http://ukbeading.co.uk/
- Word of mouth. If you have used us we usually put a few business cards in the sent parcel. Give these to friends and other crafter. You’ll be doing them a favor.
- Leave feedback. If you ever have a problem please contact us so we can see where we are going wrong. If you’ve had a problem with the website. Contact us and we will be able to give you help perhaps by taking your order over the phone.
- We stock hundreds of items not on the website. If you need something let us know and we will try to help locate the item you require. Most people that visit our shop call it “Aladdin’s Cave” because of all the unusual things we stock along with the normal essentials.
- If you have bought anything from us and would like us to link to you, please contact us so we can arrange a reciprocal link and perhaps a story about you on this blog. Just supply us the text and a image to go with it. We wont be able to use all stories but will try to do what we can.
- Is there an item you would like us to stock. We are always on the lookout for new ideas to incorporate into our store.
- Bookmark us.
- Tell people about us in emails.
- Check out our prices before you check out the competition. We constantly check our prices and try to be as competitive as possible.
- If you need help on a particular item contact us using the comment box attached to this blog post and we will try and answer you the same day. You can call the shop but we can be extremely busy and unable to give you the time needed to sort out your problem satisfactorily.
- Number 1 reasons is we give 10% off all Gutermann threads compared to RRP (which most suppliers adhere to) with a chance to get another 10% off when you buy in bulk.
- Gutermann have a thread for every job. Whether you want a strong jeans thread, hand sew quilting thread or elasticated shirring thread, there is usually a thread that will suit your application.
- Colour consistency. Gutermann thread are made to constant colour. we sell the real thread charts so you can use that to pick your threads.
- Range of colours. Literally hundreds of colours to choose from to get the best match possible. (Another reason to buy the chart)
- Quality. Perhaps this should be number 1 in the list. Many of our customers will not buy any other thread due to its error free sewing especially while using a sewing machine.
- Easy identification of threads when reordering. All threads have the details on the thread bobbin.
- Non-cellophaned reel – allows the customer to colour match more accurately.
- Tall reel with cross-wound thread – this for an smooth and even pull off during machine sewing ensuring consistency in machine sewing
- Tie-off facility – winding the loose end of thread around the tie off facility ensures that thread is kept clean and neat in the work basket.
- Well to plug it again they do a handy thread shade card which allows you to order the exact colour even when you cannot visit us in person
If you are trying to identify a Gutermann thread here are the ways to figure it out.
If you are looking at the thread full on it will say Gutermann. Further along on yhe other side it will have the number CA 02776…….This means nothing.
You can tell the type of thread by looking at the colour of the bobbin and checking it with the above pictures. It is also found on the lower ring.
On the bottom ring it will say what the thread is made of and length in meters and yards. Ie 100% polyester , 100m 110 yds. On some older threads the colour will be stated there. I.e Col 919
The colour can be found on the top. It will be on a adhesive sticker usually just above a bar-code. Ie Col 800.
On some older ones the colour will be stated there. I.e Col 919
 I have today updated the large pendant category.
This can be found here
http://ukbeading.co.uk/pendants-and-charms/large-glass-pendants-1/
These are glass and most measure either 40mm square or 60mm by 35mm.
These can easily be made into great looking necklaces with just a simple cord.
My favorite is using multiple colours of cord that tie in to the colours present in the pendant. This keeps the cord in balance with the large pendant.
