A Full-Service Bead Store, Gift Gallery & Creative Outlet

Services
  • Drop-in beading - Adults and children accompanied by an adult may drop in at Tatnuck Bead and do a self-directed bead project at one of our tables in the store.  This free service is on a first-come, first-serve basis and we do not take reservations for these tables.  Children may choose from our popular memory wire choker ($4) and bracelet ($3) project or may choose beads from the store under adult supervision.  Children and adults are responsible for documenting bead quantity and prices for presentation at checkout. Tatnuck Bead staff will assist in finishing the project (clasp, etc) as time permits.  90 minute time limit (or as volume allows).  No food or drink allowed at tables.

  • Repairs - TBC can repair most beaded jewelry. An $8 non-refundable deposit covers the labor on a simple re-string or repair. The cost of clasps, beads, chain or any other components necessary to complete your repair will be added to this fee. Most repairs can be completed within 2 weeks. More complex repairs involving knotting, multiple strands or wirework have a higher labor fee and, depending on the level of difficulty, may require more than two weeks.

    Things to consider...
    *shortening/lengthening of jewelry

    *converting clip-on earrings to pierced earwires (and vice-versa)
    *replacing charms/pendants
    *replacing difficult clasps with easier ones
