SINGLES! Singles are the easiest way to use up ur last beads. You can also search for patterns that have a lot of color variation. I would personally keep the first thing you ever made. I sacrificed mine a while back and regreted it. kao cry. I would sacrifice the x base tho frogjump

i would say if you would or still do wear it then keep it but if not then there is no harm in recyling the beads, i do it all the time when i run out of colors or if its a old bracelet i wouldnt wear anymore. as for projects to make with little beads you can make rings and singles, flower cuffs, charms, small stim toys (if you like the feeling or sound of beads), belt chains, necklaces or chokers, and beaded shoe laces or hoodie strings. hope that helped ^^

I kept my first pieces just because they are special and it shows my growth!

But as for anything else, I always recycle beads and string lol (unless they were traded or gifted bc in that case they are being kept forever<3)

Stars, singles, rings, squares/cubes, necklaces, fidget toys, charms are all smaller projects that are easy to make and don't take many beadshappy

If you don't want to hold onto them, there's no problem taking them apart for supplies. Do what you want to do with your supplies, they're yours.
make what you want to make kao happy
