BeadKraft
New York
BeadKraft is a hidden DIY craft studio and jewelry supply shop located on the second floor of a Midtown office building in NYC. It is celebrated for its Italian charm bracelet bar, where visitors can choose from thousands of designs—including Sanrio, Sonny Angel, and NYC motifs—as well as chains, beads, and bag charms. With on-site tools, instructional videos, and helpful staff, guests can assemble fully customized accessories or have chains custom cut.
Commenters are highly enthusiastic about visiting for rainy day activities or friend outings, frequently praising the vast selection of cute charms. However, several users warn that while individual charms are cheap, a full bracelet can quickly add up to around $70, and a few noted the spring-loaded charms can pinch your skin. Many also seek clarity regarding Saturday operating hours, walk-in policies, and taking supplies home versus crafting on-site.
