about us

Having used her creative skills throughout her business career as an administrator, human resource and marketing director, Terri Pace, founder and owner of Got to Bead, finally listened to her heart and God’s inspiration and opened her own company in 2005.

Now serving customers through a physical store in the Waco, Texas suburban town of Hewitt, and online as well, Got to Bead has grown and expanded to become THE place to learn, purchase and enjoy the fast-growing and immensely rewarding craft business of beading and jewelry-making.

Got to Bead has a huge selection of everything from colorful, inexpensive Czech Fire Polish and glass strands to Swarovski crystal, semi-precious stones and jewels, and with all the classes and tools to complete any project. You’ll enjoy the satisfaction of designing and making your own accessories that will be the envy of your friends.

The creative environment, patient assistance of the staff, and welcoming camaraderie of the store has prompted many clients from around the country, to ask how they too could open a similar place of business. So once again, Terri is using her experience and leadership to help others implement the ambiance and discover the fun and financial fulfillment of starting their own similar business.

 At Got to Bead the motto is carpe diem........sieze the day!
