Handcrafted with Heart

You know that moment when you're scrolling online, spot something beautiful, and know you really can't justify the price...but you also know you could make it yourself? That's exactly how my beading adventure began.

I loved the challenge. One project led to another, and every item I tried sparked an idea for the next. Before long, "Can this be beaded?" became my favorite question, and the answer was almost always yes.

If I'm honest, though, beading started for me long before that.

My father made tens of thousands of rosaries for the missions. He taught me how to make them too, and we spent time comparing notes and swapping tips like two craftsmen talking shop. My own count is only in the hundreds, but the numbers were never the point.

What I remember most is the love my Dad poured into every rosary he made, and how proud he was knowing I would carry on his love for sharing with others. Every time I sit down to bead, I feel that connection to him. It's the heart of everything we create.

The Beaded Knot LLC started with just me, until the day I made a bag charm my partner simply could not pass up. It was pink, it was glitzy, and it was love at first sparkle. That little charm drew her in, and now she enjoys beading and creating every bit as much as I do. Two sets of hands mean twice the ideas!

If it can be beaded, chances are we've made it at some point! Today we offer between 25–50 products, each with numerous variations in size, color, bead material, charms, and ribbon. A few favorites: jewelry, keychains, and bag charms; spirit sticks and garden stakes; beaded pens, letter openers, and magnifying glasses; makeup brush sets and comb and mirror sets; charcuterie knives and forks, plus salad serving sets; wine stoppers; and lip balm, lipstick, and hand sanitizer holders. Every piece is handcrafted, which means no two are exactly alike.

Thank you for being here at the very beginning of our story. We can't wait to share many more beads, ideas, and stories with you.

With love and a few stray beads, Denise and Debbie The Beaded Knot LLC
