A few weeks ago, coloradodaily.com published an article about BeadforLife beading parties. The opening sentence says it all:

“Tupperware parties? So 1970s. Mary Kay? Way too much pink. Pampered Chef? Fun, but who really needs another garlic press?”

While we at BeadStyle will take any chance to party (yep, even with a garlic press), we are especially excited about the growing trend of beading parties. In fact, we’re so pumped about it that we devoted our next special issue to helping you throw your own! Beading Parties hits newsstands August 26, and we can’t wait to hear about the fabulous bead bashes it inspires.

In Beading Parties, you’ll find beading parties for every occasion and age group. In addition to simple step-by-step directions and plenty of how-to photos, you’ll find tips for beading in groups and recipes for eating in groups! And without giving away all the surprises, don’t miss out on Cathy’s editor’s letter. It’s full of familiar (or not quite so) faces!
