Beading Contest: Halloween!

Let’s “scare up” some Halloween themed projects this month! Whether you go fun and festive with shades of orange and black, or take a darker, spookier route, make sure to get your submissions in by October 23rd.

Check out our special Halloween Projects page for some project ideas and inspiration. You can also find product recommendations from our design team in our special Halloween Department.

We will select 10 finalists from the contest entries, all of whom will have their work published here on our Beader’s Blog and on the Beadaholique Facebook page, for public voting. The winner will receive a $100 Beadaholique gift certificate and further exposure on our blog and Facebook page!
