Aaggh... bloody beads driving me daft. So the decorations are coming along ok, but it is still a little difficult, as its kind hard to put everything together. Beads are really akward. I'll stick up some pics of my beads when there done and i find my camera.
Anyway so I have been looking at how other shops and sellers of christmas decorations are selling their products. It seems that mainly in large stores like Tesco, Asda, Wilkinsons and and large chian stores like pound shops are selling there christmas decorations very easily, in groups and packs at quite a cheap price. However looking at the smaller stall's in shopping centres. The decorations on those are quite expensive. Yet the things that they are selling are often single decorations or smaller groups of decorations, such as two for five pounds.
True they are usually much nicer and better made than the cheaper chain store decorations, but still many people are not inclined to spend a large amount on something they only have on display for maybe a month, thats highly likely to be broken by something heavy being dropped on it during the course of the year whilst it's packaged up in the attic.
So considering that we will be making ours from old necklaces and bracelets which will look hopefully quite old fashioned and retro we will need to be very low cost to compare with other sellers.
generally I think that most of our stock will probably end up being bought and transfomed into jewelrey by other people, which isnt so bad really.
