Beads in bulk? (Save $$?)

Atafrd 8/23/2016 06:17 pm 2396

Hey, my fellow kandi enthusiasts! Where is a good place to order cheap pony beads in bulk? I've bought a few kits and individual packages of beads from Walmart, but my problem is I run out of specific colors too quickly and I can't afford to pay Walmart's prices. (I'm poor, don't judge)

Also I'm wanting to sell some at the fair on the square in my local town next year, so I need lots and lots of beads but at a price that my cuffs won't be astronomically priced.

Any Ideas? Fellow sellers and/or poor people?

I crunched le numbers during lunch. Amazon seems like your best deal! beadtin.com and ponybeadstore.com costs about $0.004 per bead and Amazon costs $0.005 per bead (both on average) but amazon allows for reviews to prevent getting scammed and a bunch of sellers have deals to buy a second bag for three dollars (bags of 1000 beads are on average around $5) so for more deals and reliable sellers, I'd go to amazon soot sprite

amazon is probably the cheapest option, but craft stores like joannes fabrics and Michaels crafts usually have good prices. Joannes tends to have a lot of sales too.

Do you ever buy on Amazon? I get all my beads on Amazon. They have the big 6000 piecebags for $9.99. dance

Ebay is always a good option. Just be aware that when you order from countries like China and Hong Kong, it may take up to a month to arrive in the mail to you.
