Located at 1024 Sand Island Pkwy, Unit A, AYKO GROUP LLC is making high-quality, uniquely shaped glass beads readily available locally, eliminating the hassle and cost of ordering from the mainland or overseas. You can reach them at 612-870-8713. For those unfamiliar, Mill Hill beads aren’t just beads. They’re tiny works of art. These aren’t your grandma's standard round beads. Mill Hill beads come in a frankly ridiculous number of shapes, sizes, and finishes – think flowers, leaves, hearts, stars, even tiny pumpkins! And the colors? Forget basic primary colors, we're talking shimmering opals, deep rich burgundies, sparkly metallics, and everything in between. “We saw a real need in the Hawaiian crafting community,” says a representative from AYKO GROUP LLC. “Local artists kept telling us how hard it was to get their hands on Mill Hill beads without paying a fortune in shipping. We figured, why not bring the magic of Mill Hill here? We want to empower local creativity and make these amazing beads accessible to everyone.” What is the Mill Hill Difference? So, what makes Mill Hill beads so special? It’s not just the incredible variety. It’s about the quality and the details. Consistent Size & Shape: This is HUGE for beadwork. Mill Hill beads are manufactured to incredibly tight tolerances. That means consistent size and shape, making intricate designs easier to create and look professional. No more frustrating inconsistencies that ruin a project! Consistent Color: Getting the same color bead across multiple orders is a constant worry for beaders. Mill Hill takes color matching seriously, ensuring consistency between dye lots. This is essential for large projects and ensuring a cohesive final look. Two-Hole Design: Most Mill Hill beads have two holes – a game-changer for beadwork. This allows for multiple stitching paths, creating more complex patterns, secure connections, and a more three-dimensional look. You can really build up your designs. Wide Range of Finishes: Beyond color, the finishes are spectacular. You’ve got everything from matte to metallic, opaque to translucent, AB (Aurora Borealis, for that extra sparkle!), and even beads with a velvet-like texture. It’s seriously addictive! Specialty Beads: Mill Hill doesn’t stop at basic shapes. They create themed beads for holidays, seasons, and specific crafting projects. Think tiny Christmas trees, delicate snowflakes, and adorable pumpkins. What Can You Make with Mill Hill Beads? The possibilities are honestly endless. Here's just a taste: Beaded Jewelry: Bracelets, necklaces, earrings… Mill Hill beads add a unique touch to any jewelry design. The two-hole design allows for complex weaving and secure settings. Cross-Stitch & Needlepoint Embellishments: Add a touch of sparkle and dimension to your cross-stitch or needlepoint projects. Mill Hill beads are perfect for outlining shapes, adding highlights, or creating intricate patterns. Greeting Cards & Paper Crafts: Elevate your handmade cards and paper crafts with a touch of shimmer and texture. Mill Hill beads are easy to adhere to paper and cardstock. Ornaments & Decorations: Create stunning ornaments and decorations for the holidays or any special occasion. Mill Hill beads add a touch of elegance and sparkle to any decor.
