Have you heard about Colombian Girl Jewelry?  If not I would like to introduce the company to you!  Colombian Girl Jewelry is located in the United States, but their beautifully designed jewelry is handmade by a group of  talented women  who live in the outskirts of Bogotá, Columbia.   The women joined together to create stunning jewelry from organic materials.  Awesome!!  You can read more about the women behind Colombian Girl Jewelry here.  I was impressed and I believe you will be to!

Colombian Girl Jewelry is made from organic materials. Can you guess what type?  Fruit and seeds!

Colombian Girl Jewelry

Colombian Girl makes jewelry from Orange Peel, Tagua nut, Dalmatian beans, Bombona seeds, Corn, Cantaloupe seeds, Coffee beans and Acai berries!  If you would like, you can read more about these fascinating materials here.

Colombian Girl picked out a beautiful necklace and earring set and sent it to me to review.  I am honored to be able to do so!    Take a look!

I feel like I cannot adequately express how fascinated and impressed I am with this necklace! So much beauty, talent and creativity is apparent in the design.  When I opened the package and saw the necklace, I sat and admired it for about ten minutes before putting it down, no lie!  That is how captivated I was by its beauty, even while photographing the pictures for this post I caught myself admiring the set.  My pictures don’t do the necklace and earring set justice, but I hope you can get a glimpse of the beauty!

This photograph of the necklace belongs to Colombian Girl and is the product photo on their website for this set.  The necklace and earring set is called “Pura Naranja,” which means pure orange.  The colors are fuchsia and brown!  Regularly priced at $29.99 the set is on sale for $24.99 and can be purchased here.

  I have spotted several pieces on their website that I like, and some that could be potential Christmas gifts for family and friends this year!

I encourage you to visit Colombian Girl online and be prepared to be amazed by the beautiful jewelry.

Hama BioBeads Review: The Eco-Friendly Fuse Beads You’ll Love

As a long-time crafter, I’ve worked with all kinds of materials, but there’s something about fuse beads that never gets old. The creativity, the colors, the nostalgia—it’s all part of the fun! But let’s be honest, traditional plastic beads aren’t exactly great for the environment. That’s why I was so excited to try Hama BioBeads, an eco-friendly alternative that promises all the fun of classic Hama beads without the plastic guilt. So, do they live up to the hype? Let’s dive in!

What Are Hama BioBeads?

Hama BioBeads are a biodegradable version of the classic Hama fuse beads. Instead of being made from petroleum-based plastic, these beads are crafted from a plant-based, eco-friendly material that naturally decomposes over time. That means less plastic waste while still enjoying the same vibrant colors and creativity that fuse bead lovers expect.

First Impressions: Do They Feel Different?

When I first opened the pack, I was curious—would they feel different from traditional beads? The answer: not really! The beads are slightly smoother to the touch, but they’re just as easy to handle, pick up with tweezers, and place on a pegboard. The colors are just as bright and bold, which was a big relief since I was worried they might look dull or faded.

One of the things I love about these beads is that they’re the same size as regular Hama beads, so they work with all my existing pegboards and accessories. No need to buy new tools or change my crafting process!

How Do They Fuse?

Now, onto the real test—how well do they iron together?

I followed my usual fusing process, using parchment paper and a medium heat setting on my iron. The beads melted together perfectly, just like regular Hama beads. No weird smells, no uneven melting—just smooth, well-bonded designs.

I also noticed that once cooled, the fused beads felt a bit sturdier than traditional plastic beads. That’s a huge plus because sometimes regular beads can feel brittle or break apart too easily.


What Makes Hama BioBeads Special?

? Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable – The biggest selling point! These beads naturally break down over time, reducing environmental impact.
? Non-Toxic & Safe for Kids – Made from natural materials, they’re a safer option for little crafters.
? Same Great Quality – They look, feel, and fuse just like classic Hama beads—no sacrifice in quality!
? Works with Existing Hama Accessories – You don’t need special pegboards or tools; they fit right into your current stash.
? Great for Schools & Eco-Conscious Crafters – If you’re an educator or a parent looking to introduce sustainability to kids in a fun way, these are perfect!

The only potential downside is that since these are a newer product, they may not be as widely available as traditional Hama beads. Some colors also seem to be in and out of stock, so if you see a set you love, I’d suggest grabbing them while you can.

 If you love fuse bead crafting but want a more sustainable option, Hama BioBeads are a fantastic choice. They’re just as fun, colorful, and easy to use as regular Hama beads, but they come with the added bonus of being better for the planet. Whether you’re a hobby crafter, a parent, or a teacher, these beads are a guilt-free way to get creative.

So if you’re looking to make your crafts a little greener, give Hama BioBeads a try!  Check them out here!
