I’m planning to make a purse and I’m probably going to use a lot of pink so variety packs are out of the question- but where can i buy cheaper pony beads?

@Sprout_Makes_Kandi: yeah when i first started out i was using a lot of their beads and then realized a lot of craft store branded beads (pop! for joanns, treehouse studios for hobby lobby) are smaller than beads that are from beadtin and a ton of other places. michaels beads aren't like that (i dont think) but they are kinda... pricey...

If your fam has Prime, Amazon is great for BIG single color bags, and some shade mixes (eg four pinks or blues or browns). Prices range from $4-10 depending on how overstocked certain bags are. Never go to Michaels or Joanns w/o a coupon from the website. Hobby Lobby has frequent sales but are run by bigoted crimey swine, but for some folks they're the only craft store in town. Lots of people love Bead Tin.

@Stevie_Burton: ty! I’ll check out Jo ann fabrics probably! I’ve been to hobby lobby and their beads are weirdly smaller than the ones I use. I didnt know they were a homophobic company so ty for letting me know! I will definitely stop buying from them-

- hobby lobby is great, but the company as a whole is absolutely horrible since they donate money to anti-lgbtqia+ charities / fundraisers i think. their beads are great, especially if it's the only place you can afford, but the company is horrible :[

- jo ann fabrics is also really great !! they usually have a really good selection of beads and they often have cute shaped ones ^_^

- michael's is great, but their beads tend to be cheaply made & are EXTREMELY overpriced

- you can even find stuff at the dollar store !! not all the time unfortunately, but every now and then the dollar store has at least SOME beads, and maybe even string !

- target is also a fun place to look around. they don't have much of a selection, but i've gotten a coupld tiny things of star beads for like $5 usd, as well as a small container of like 15 colored beads for $15 !

Where can I buy beads for cheap?
