what are your controversial bead opinions?

SourStrawberry 6/14/2023 04:39 pm 1541

mine is that i don't like pearlescent beads. sometimes they're ok but for the most part i find them kind of tacky & unpleasant to look at, and much prefer a regular opaque bead—or, if we're getting shiny with it, a nice iridescent/AB.

also, heart beads with horizontal holes should be the norm! i don't know why they are so hard to find... bless beadtin.com for carrying them.

clay beads are hideous. they get dirty easily and break a lot cryingdollar store string is top tear because of how stretchy it ishappy

clay beads suck tbh. they're too thin and you need like a million of them for a simple single thats actually 28 pony beads long.

the really thin beads that can be bought like, on a string or whatever when u get them bulk, absolutely suck ;-; idk im just so used 2 pony beads and i have no idea how one could coordinate colours on that scale

imo non stretchy string absolutely sucks kao cry

I really love polymer clay beads yeah they can get dirty but omg they're so cute

Seed beads and pearlescent beads can either be pretty or hideous. There's no in between

i just wish pony beads were easier to find were i live… no hobby lobby… no walmart…. No target… no dollar store…. Only craft store in town doesnt even sell them and the ones they do sell come in small packages and arent even opaque, either iridescent or translucent which is everything but what i need. Wish i didnt have to order online every time i need new supplies is all

Pearler bead opinions, but imo Hama beads look kinda ugly ???????? and if you dare to leave holes in your melt, you are a vile creature you deserve your melts snapping in half at the slightest whack /lh /s

also I HATE any weird shaped bead except stars and specialty shapes (animals n stuff). Like Tri-beads, hearts, the weird starburst/fan looking ones just blech they feel disgustang to wear idk

EDIT THEY’RE SUNBURSTS I WAS SO CLOSE but ewww I hate the way they feel :’0
