Meet Sandee.
The hands, the heart, and the whole story behind The Barely Bold Co.

One bead at a time.
I started making beaded paperclips during a time when I needed something grounding and creative to focus on. Something small and beautiful I could hold in my hands and make better, one bead at a time.
What began as a personal outlet slowly grew into this shop. Friends asked for them. Then friends of friends. And somewhere in the quiet repetition of threading beads, The Barely Bold Co. was born.
Every clip is still assembled by hand — no two exactly alike, and that's rather the point. Cute, useful, and made with a little heart.
Made by hand
Assembled one at a time, in small runs.

New drops added regularly — when they're gone, they're gone.
