It's that time of the year! Leaves are beginning to fall, Starbucks is back with all things Pumpkin Spice, and a three day weekend is right around the corner.
With Labor Day on its merry way, Unicorne Beads wants to celebrate the true, meaningful reason why we have Monday off. To the teachers, firefighters, doctors, grocery store workers, and many more, we thank you. Thank you for your contributions that help our country run in unison.
We get it. A three day weekend is very rare for the majority of American workers. So, that's why Unicorne Beads want to help YOU make the best out of your Labor Day weekend.
If you're a jewelry maker or an overall creative, we believe taking a day to wind down, rest, and bead the house down is of the utmost importance for the first Monday of September.
How To Celebrate
First things first, don't be afraid to sleep in! Delete your call log and clear your agenda, because today is all about you, your creative mind, and your beads! Here are a few ways to get your craft-tastic Labor Day weekend started:
Shop Ahead: Whether you need to head to the craft store for some additional tools or to the grocery store for a bottle of wine (or two), try doing so before September 7. This way you can take the day to fully focus on yourself and gives those who work the day of a chance to have a little breather. It's a win-win situation!
Be Bold, Big, Beautiful: There is something special about turning a handful of beads into something completely your own. Whether it's a pair of earrings using tile beads, a bracelet flaunting the fan favorite teardrop beads, or a stunning banana bead necklace, a finished piece of jewelry showcases hard work and dedication! With that being said, take this Labor Day to create something entirely new and for YOU!

Bicone Beads Spotlight
To celebrate Labor Day weekend, we are having ourselves a little sale! This year, we are highlighting our bicone beauties. These lampwork glass beads come in three different shapes, made by hand, and shimmer with colorful layers, swirls, and details.
Bicones have a beautifully tapered silhouette that brings a different rhythm to a design. Mix them with your favorite shapes or build an entire project around them.
