Book the Bead Bar!

A mobile accessory & jewellery-making experience.
Suitable for parties, markets, and events. 

Welcome to the Amy Lou Creative: Bead Bar

A colourful, hands-on experience for kids and adults alike. Perfect for birthdays, baby showers, team events, or a sunny afternoon with friends, the Bead Bar brings people together to create custom beaded accessories like bracelets, keychains, and bag tags.

I bring everything you need; beads, charms, findings,  tools, and plenty of creative guidance - so crafters can relax and enjoy designing your own pieces. No experience needed, just good vibes and a bit of colour!

Option 1: open bar

Everything is set up and guests can craft to their heart's desire.

Guests can make as many pieces as time allows within the session. All materials are included, and I’ll be there to help with design ideas, techniques, and finishing touches.

The finer details:

A table and chairs are required - I can provide a folding tables if needed.

Timeframe

As I’m building my gallery, I may take photos of your event (with permission, of course!) for use on my website and social media. You’ll receive a few fun shots to share, too.
