Hi, hello!

I adore starting new crafts and after a long while of stalling, I figured I should start Kandis!

A major irritation of mine is starting a craft type (any type of craft) without any background knowledge. Beginner stuff. What kinds of Kandi are there, where to buy supplies, what are some tips and tricks?

so please please please. spread some knowledge for a whimsical beginner?

I get most of my beads from walmart, michaels or hobby lobby, but really just anywhere that sells good beads (I've gotten some at the dollar general and they were very pretty, but low quality and poked at my arm)

I get most of my stretch cord from walmart, as there is a 300+ foot thing of clear stretch cord I found for 8 dollars. Its very nice, its thicker than a lot of threads I use and its durable as long as you don't stretch it too much or tie and untie in the same place, if you do that a lot with clear thread it'll snap since its basically just rubber/plastic

You should start on kandi singles!!, that's where I started. And if you want to be a bitttt, more dangerous than a beginner, you should do an easy latter cuff!, Along with some other things, you can get poney beads in Micheals and string there too or online!, but we don't recommend hobby lobby due to whatever happened- But for YouTubers, I recommend Vickymuffins & Turbobeads for beginners! Tbh all the things I made so far were cuffs, charms, kandi singles, and ladder stichs, There's another popular thing we use is Perler beads to add to our cuffs or kandi singles, MAybe just leave it at is!!

Here's an old slide I made if you want to see what we have in store!, But there are a lot of useful things on this website too!!:
