Cheap supplies?

iLuvDinos 3/28/2013 04:03 pm 1791

At the moment I am interested in making bigger items like wallets, clutches, purses, and soon a backpack. Where can I buy a ton of beads for a cheap amount in one color? Also what is some good elastic that I could buy? Thanks so much!

i go to Shipwreck Beads in Lacy Washington. for my bday, i got 4500 beads and 100 meters (330 feet) of .8mm stretchy string for under $20. so maybe try their website ( http://www.shipwreckbeads.com/ ). as for fishing line, i normally go to walmart, Cabellas, or a outdoorsy kind of store.

I buy all my supplies at Wal-Mart, eBay, and perlerbeads.com. If you are making a bigger project, I wouldn't use elastic. Try at least 10 lb test fishing line. (: Hope I helped.

Try the site www.beadbee.com...they're pretty cheap and they're based in the US so shipping should be cheap. That's the site I use and they're really good with great colours.

Try hair stores.Most hair stores sell beads of many different colors,but idk about near you but mine sell for 2.99 with 1,000 beads in the pack.And they last for a good while. And either Elastic cords from Wal-Mart or Elastic cords from Jo-Ann's are pretty reasonable. When i go shopping for kandi supplies i set a budget of 20-25 dollars and i get a whole lot of things for under $20. Hope this helped c:
