Fringed Benefits is a new product line created by Kirkpatrick Studios. We are just bead-y-eyed over our beautiful beaded fringe and embellishments for the needle arts industry. We introduced our new product line at the recent TNNA market and the response was overwhelmingly positive. 

The Fringed Benefits collection consists of beaded fringe, embellishments and accessories to enhance needlework creations. When creating our beaded fringe, it was made with a space where the strand is to be folded in half for attaching – just as you would traditional fringe. With our product, the “space” allows for a secure knot -- then disappears into the fabric being created. Attach a strand…anywhere! 

In addition to fringe, our other packaged embellishments include beaded “Ewe Bobs” and beaded “Loopies.” The Ewe Bobs and Loopies can be pre-strung and moved up into the project when desired – or added in later by sewing or even more simply by tying them on with a length of the same fiber used in the project. Fringed Benefits also includes special limited-edition accessories such as shawl pins, sweater clasps, purse handles and other jeweled accents. Our colors and styles vary with the seasons. To keep up with changing trends, the Fringed Benefits line will always be expanding and growing to meet the needs of the industry. 

Kirkpatrick Studios has been designing sophisticated handcrafted jewelry in Houston, Texas for over 6 years. Each one of the unique adornments in the Fringed Benefits line has been created by an experienced jewelry designer using only the finest materials - silk, sterling silver, semi-precious stones, handmade beads and European crystals. Making the product beautiful was as important to the designer as making it easy for the end user to apply. The designer tried many different materials and prototypes before introducing the products on this website. Hand made needlework is an art – and our embellishments give people the opportunity to make their needle art creations one-of-a-kind.
