Welcome

Don't miss this boutique show, dedicated to all things beading, running in conjunction with the Melbourne Craft & Quilt Fair.

Your Melbourne Bead Fair ticket also gives you entry to the Melbourne Craft & Quilt Fair.

Beads add glamour to fashion, homewares and many crafts from stitching to scrapbooks. They're appearing on everything and they're beautiful! And of course, you can use them to create spectacular beaded jewellery. Whether you are looking for seed beads, crystals, lamp-work, gems, pearls, pendants, vintage beads, gorgeous glass, resin, semi-precious stone or spectacular Swarovski crystals, you'll find it all at the Melbourne Bead Fair.

SHOP for the latest beads of all kinds, plus findings, tools, organisers, cords, new magazines, books and charms. Visit our Shopping @ the Fair page for exhibitor details.

ENJOY and be inspired by the amazing finalists from the Swarovski Create Your Style Creative Beading Awards 2008 bought to you by Creative Beading magazine.
