Tubed Beads:

 

Take a test drive with Toho seed bead.  Takara Bead is now selling selected Toho seed beads by the tube.  This is great for first time buyers or well known 

establishments that tube their our beads.   A great thing about tubing is they display the Toho beads beautifully.  If you are looking into setting up a section in your shop dedicated to Toho, then a wall of tubed beads it a way to go.  Peggy is the driving force behind the tubed bead program.  So if you have any questions she is the one that can help. Our tube beads are sold as a six pack, with a pre-printed label like the one pictured below.

 Here is a picture that shows what a tubed bead looks like

We are switching gears yet again. Trista is now taking lead on the website.  Hopefully by mid October she can complete the new home page and keep the website up to date on current stock.  Her new goal is to get everything online in one month.  We wish her luck!
