Gingerbas Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi, I'm looking for leather thonging or laces, about 1-1.5mm thick in all different colours, the other half has taken up jewellery along with the other million out there. looking to add colour beads and the like onto this. she can get from local bead shop at 75p a meter, but wants to buy in bulk, as with ebay and other sites all roughly the same price as local shop, the shop won't tell her where they get there supply, . Any ideas??? No wise cracks about the thonging pls I've already got a thick ear for that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 the other half has taken up jewellery along with the other million out there. Doesn't matter, the advantage you've got is a shop to sell it from. Rhiannon makes cards, which she sells to a shop in Wales & also from a stand in ours. We don't sell loads, but enough to make the "hobby" worth while. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
