what are your controversial bead opinions?

SourStrawberry 6/14/2023 04:39 pm 1464

mine is that i don't like pearlescent beads. sometimes they're ok but for the most part i find them kind of tacky & unpleasant to look at, and much prefer a regular opaque bead—or, if we're getting shiny with it, a nice iridescent/AB.

also, heart beads with horizontal holes should be the norm! i don't know why they are so hard to find... bless beadtin.com for carrying them.

Michael's is the worst place to get beads. I have had their beads break more times then i can count (literally snap in half) and are WAY overpriced. I didn't even drop the thing and still the beads broke. The only time I've had beads break when they weren't from Micheal's was my bag that i abused a lot. (online you can buy bead tin beads from there but I'm talking abut their store brand)

Pearler bead opinions, but imo Hama beads look kinda ugly ???????? and if you dare to leave holes in your melt, you are a vile creature you deserve your melts snapping in half at the slightest whack /lh /s

also I HATE any weird shaped bead except stars and specialty shapes (animals n stuff). Like Tri-beads, hearts, the weird starburst/fan looking ones just blech they feel disgustang to wear idk

EDIT THEY’RE SUNBURSTS I WAS SO CLOSE but ewww I hate the way they feel :’0

i just wish pony beads were easier to find were i live… no hobby lobby… no walmart…. No target… no dollar store…. Only craft store in town doesnt even sell them and the ones they do sell come in small packages and arent even opaque, either iridescent or translucent which is everything but what i need. Wish i didnt have to order online every time i need new supplies is all

imo non stretchy string absolutely sucks

I really love polymer clay beads yeah they can get dirty but omg they're so cute

Seed beads and pearlescent beads can either be pretty or hideous. There's no in between
