Hey beautiful! Curated Bead Box, a division of DollarBead.com, sent me their latest monthly diy jewelry making box to share with you.

Inside December's Curated Bead Box

This month’s Curated Bead Box theme is The Old West. The colors are a mix of olive greens, dusty pinks, and mauve. Overall, I get a romantic, secret garden feel from the color scheme. Perhaps this mix is depicting cacti and their showy pink blooms. Maybe it’s reminiscent of the ladies fashion of the day; layers of ruched fabric and lace (or maybe I am looking way too far into this. Ha!).

This box may not be one that I would sign up for to meet my specific beading style, outside of being able to share the contents with you all; however, I really appreciate the unique color combinations which are put together each month. Every box contains a combination of colors unique from the boxes before it, and it’s a great way to build up a stash of a variety of basic glass rounds in an array of colors.

Do I recommend the Curated Bead Boxes?

YES – for the right person.

My thoughts: I would especially recommend this box for newer beaders who are interested in learning basic stringing. If you know someone who would like to start learning how to make beaded jewelry, I think this box would also make a great gift. Each box contains items in a coordinating, curated color palette, and comes with basic stringing materials and findings, so you have just about everything you need to get started. 

Overview:

Cost: Reasonable

Skill: Beginner

Style: Bead-stringers who primarily want basic round shapes.
