Cove Bead In The News
The poplarity of charm beads
The popularity of charm beads
Charm bracelets have been around for centuries, they held great significance as far back as the Egyptian Pharaohs. Although traditional charm style bracelets may be less popular than they once were, charm beads have gained an enormous following today with various brands such as Pandora and Chamilia showing no sign of a slow-down in popularity, if anything their popularity is increasing rapidly!
We see trends come and go, especially in the jewellery and fashion industry, so why is the charm bead still so popular after several years of popularity growth?
There could be numerous explanations but possibly one of the more likely is the way it gives people a channel through which they can express themselves and change the look of their jewellery when the mood takes them. You can mix and match different colour beads to reflect your current mood or simply use colour to match your outfit or the current season and this versatility is key to the enduring popularity of the charm bead. The charm beads also incorporate already popular materials such as silver, murano glass and swarovski crystal.
One of the beauties of the charm bead is that they go further than simply giving you the option to match your jewellery to your mood or outfit, the jewellery companies such as Pandora and Chamilia have recognised that people want to wear beads that reflect their interests as well as their personalities and mood. For example, animal lovers and pet owners can reflect their passion for their animals through different animal beads and those of us who have grown up with the magic of the Disney feature films can display their favourite and memorable characters on their jewellery.
Charm beads also give a great opportunity to represent a special occasion or achievement such as a special birthday or graduation or simply for birthdays and anniversaries and what is ideal about charm beads is that you can choose from designs which directly relate to the occasion, such as graduation cap, or simply choose an unrelated design which you know the
recipient will love.
So we can see that charm beads and jewellery are about more than making us look good, they are about how they make us feel and can evoke some powerful feelings and memories

Questions about Cove Bead
What are some fun children crafts?
I love crafts. all I am looking for right now are some little crafts to do with my 5 year old cousin, she is a girl. I kind of just explained that with the word she. So, I am planning on decorating flip flops, beading necklaces, making school stuff to play school, and paper folding(origami or cootie catchers) So if there are any crafts she and I could do at home or in the cove, that would be great. We love coloring and children's wesites(like poptropica, try it , its fun)
you already have quite a few things lined up
)
and use the origami models & some of your artwork cutouts to make mobiles &/or chimes by stringing them along with a few bells, etc.
a few more crafts you could try :
-- clay modeling. make animals, etc., name them & have fun stories with them. or make a dinner/tea-set, etc. Any theme...
-- make masks
-- make boats out of the plastic containers that come with biscuit/cookies. they float on water. add sails, etc. & paint with acrylic colors to make them even more attractive & have a regatta ![]()
-- color & decorate egg cartons & let her use the containers to keep any trinkets, etc.
-- make cards & drawings with finger/hand/foot prints. use lots of colors. you can even convert them into something else by adding a few details like eyes, ears, paws, etc.
-- make a little chest-of-drawers with matchboxes stacked one above the other. cover with color paper & decorate. glue a large bead or small button to the 'drawers' to help pull them out. use to keep trinkets, etc.
You can even make an entire house set using empty match boxes, including car, etc.
-- collect leaves & use to print on fabric or paper [acrylic/poster paints respectively]. you can also use vegetables, etc.
-- collect shells. use to make a frame, decorate pots, etc.
-- greeting cards : use strings dipped in different colors between 2 card sheets & pull.
-- make pom pom bunnies & other tree ornaments.
-- make little puppets - stick, paper, sock, string, etc. & stage little plays.
-- start a scrapbook of all the crafts & activities you do together
