smelly beads x(

hey guys

so the first bead box I got was from amazon, from a brand called vicovi. it came with good beads and it was a good place to start but theres an entire row of beads that just... smell...which is really a shame, seeing as the beads are very pretty and iridescent but they wreak of plastic. I used a whole rainbow of these beads to make a single and after wearing it for some time, the smell just went away. i want to know if theres some sort of fix or if i can make them smell better. have you guys had a similar problem?

air them out for a day or two if they still smell! then after you can spray something that smells good on them like perfume or febreez

had a similar experience. i bought white beads because i was low on them, and they REEKED of super glue D: i i bitched about it on snapchat, used them anyways, and after a little while my kandi smelt fine. try leaving it outside or by an open window overnight and they should be fine. if you can, i suggest dumping them out in a shallow pan (if its only one color) to air them or you could do what i did and suck it up and let it air out when you wear it lma

Certain kinds of plastic covered in that iridescent stuff smells sulfury. It's normal, It's just the iridescent coating i think.

whenever something of mine smells awful (which is nearly always #nocluehowtodolaundrymoment) i just drench it in cologne, hairspray, hand sanitizer, or whatever i just have lying around lol
