JJB Summer Bead Blast Jewelry Design Challenge 2023
Join us for fifteen weeks of challenges, prizes, and beading fun! All summer long Jesse James Beads is hosting a weekly challenge. We want to encourage you to make and connect with all of the creative makers in our wonderful bead community even more. Below you’ll find out how it works, how to enter for prizes, and how to find inspiration to keep you using your bead stash and creating up a storm!
Each Monday starting May 29th on Facebook and Instagram we will post a new challenge topic post, explaining what the week’s challenge is and sharing some inspiration as well. We will also share video tutorials and photos of projects throughout the week on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram to inspire you with the prompt of the week.
Throughout the summer, we’ll randomly draw challenge entries to win prizes hand-picked by our designers and team as favorite summer bead supplies. At the end of the challenge, we’ll also hold a grand prize drawing to “win it before you can buy it” fall boutique collection AND we’ll hold a staff favorite entries contest for a $100 gift card to our shop!
Below are some frequently asked questions and more on how things will work!
