Kandi Kreations

 NOTE: Picture-heavy post - may be best viewed on a computer or tablet rather than a mobile phone.

I promised my friends that I would write a post featuring Lizzy's Kandi art. For those not in the know, Kandi is jewelry (usually bracelets) or other creations made from pony beads (plastic beads in different colors and/or alphanumeric symbols). It started in rave culture, where people would trade single-strand bracelets ("singles") with others, and has spread to everything from small jewelry pieces to full-on clothing and other accessories.

Lizzy would be thrilled to take commissions (prices below) to further fuel her beading habit, and examples are shown.

So without further ado, have some great examples of pony bead art (descriptions attached)

A set of six singles in a dark chess theme.
Red, Purple, Blue, Green, Gold, Brown
King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook, Pawn

A set of six singles in a light chess theme
Pink, Lilac, Cyan, Mint, Yellow, Orange
King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook, Pawn











Four star-shaped earrings, two in a pink-
purple-yellow design, and two in a
sunflower-with-leaves design
A set of three singles in a Barbie theme,
accented with each wearer's favorite color





A much simpler cuff for the Ponies' friend
Spike the Baby Dragon, in purple and green,
with his name spelled in black letters on white.
A pyramid of each of the Mane Six My Little Pony
friends (Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle,
Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy) on
rotating cuffs in their signature colors.





Cuff Trio: rainbow (six colors in pastels), fire (yellow shading
through orange to red), and purple-green Spike again.




Fire cuff close-up in yellow, orange, gold,
red, and dark red.
Rainbow cuff close-up in pink, orange,
yellow, green, blue, and purple.



A set of three Shaker Cubes, in black/purple, pink/white,
and blue/black. These contain extra beads, which create a
rattling sound. Great for fidgets! (NOT for babies)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Price List (written by Lizzy herself):

  • A pair of star/flower earrings: $10 (be warned; these are heavy.)
  • A shaker cube: $15
  • A simple cuff: $20
  • A rotating cuff: $60 (these take ages so they're very expensive!)

Pricing for singles is a little complicated so please bear with me!

It starts at five dollars, and every additional is three more! So:
  • 1 - $5
  • 2 - $8
  • 3 - $11
  • 4 - $14
  • 5 - $17
  • 6 - $20
  • 7 - $23
  • 8 - $26
  • 9 - $29
  • 10 - $32
  • 11 - $35
  • 12 - $38
And so on!

Shipping costs will be added to the total! Details below.

All orders are custom! I have a wide assortment of colors so don't be afraid to be creative!

I've used too many exclamation points. I'm excited!

If you want to commission a piece, please contact me (Jenn) and I will get the info to Lizzy.

Shipping runs eight dollars for a single shaker cube or up to three singles (in the contiguous 48 states of the US plus Washington DC).

Prices for international shipping and larger pieces vary.
