Trollbead addiction

[Slidey]

I'm brand new to the modular charm braclets. It started this past Christmas with a giftcard to Pandora. A few charms later, along with some online research, I fell and love with Trollbeads. I don't have many beads but I'm not to sure how I want to store my bracelets and my growing bead collection. I LOVE the troll boxes I keep seeing everyones collection in but where do you find them?

Do you mean the white lacquered boxes? If so you should be able to order from your LD, or, I got mine direct from Trollbeads.com. I notice it's not there right now, but .co.uk has them. My postage was free, and it was £62.50. It is well made and works well.

Hi, this is my first full trollbeads bracelet (pic 1)but it always turn to the clasp side(pic 2), is any method make it don't turn around? (If I change to large clasp, it's only show the clasp on top )

I don't think you'll find a way other than using lighter beads, the weight is always going to pull the heavier part of the bracelet to the bottom. I would use a decorative clasp so it looks more part of the design, that's the idea of the TB locks really anyway. I only use the basic lock to fasten my leather necklace.
Good luck

You need to put a heavy bead at the start and end of the bracelet if you want the clasp to stay on the bottom.

Here's my Japan bracelet. It will be my first permanent combo!

really pretty! Do you have both versions of Happy Fish there?

Thanks, I do have both versions of Happy Fish. I was incredibly lucky and was able to get the gold/silver for less than half the retail last year.

Yup, that's the box. Thank you I did see somethings at the dealer I got my bracelet from but they didn't seem to have any boxes just a rolled cloth type thing.

I love it! I hope to do something like this too. I'm curently working on an Asian themed Pandora bracelet and will most likly do the same with my Troll. It wasn't intentional I just seemed to gravitate more towards that theme.

Thanks for your advice, I'll try

Though it's fun, but hard to match, I have no idea

Does anyone know of any cheaper build-your-own-bead bracelets? My daughter is very interested in the Trollbeads, but they are pretty pricey. She's only 9 so I don't want to spend that kind of money. We'd both be happy with something similar but cheaper. Thanks!
