displaying beads	Can't Post

Hello, I am setting up a beading gallery.

Any shiek way of displaying beads and findings uniformily on tables. I do not wish to use the plastic boxes. I want something that is upscale and classy. We are limited witih space.

Thanks, Cynthia

Acrylic is the best, but it's not cheap.

You can also search the import shops and craft stores for wood bowls, but the down side of NOT using acrylic, is that it severely limits what the customer sees, and how colorful your display is.

Many companies sell acrylic displays on the internet. I've dealt with Potomic before:

Can't recommend them, or not. Haven't dealt with them much, or with any other company. But they had the parts I needed when I needed them.

Hi,

Interesting site. Your store sounds interesting too, but the pictures are sort of teasing, without showing much :)

We have used fake black crushed velvet, and buy a bunch of used pretty wine/champagne glasses at GoodWill or something, and put loose beads in the glasses, and jewelry on the black velvet.

The mix of sparkling glass, shiny beads, and soft velvet is just soothing and looks very elegant, very cheaply.
