how the store works:

	go to the counter and ask for a jewellery design board. this is what you use to design your jewellery
	have a good look around the store and decide what you would like to make. next you need to choose your beads, the easiest way to do this is to go with your favourite colour. most of our glass beads are displayed in colour categories. prices are on the jars. keep the jars you use with you
	lay out your design on the board. take this up to the counter to get the materials, tools and threads you will need plus advice and answers to any questions
	upon completion take your creation back to the counter where you can select a clasp and have it put on at the required length, or get the tools needed and have a go at doing it yourself
