Where do YOU buy your beads?

narojaves 3/29/2016 03:15 pm 8239

Just curious. I'm rather new to the whole kandi thing, I'm better at designing than I am actually making the things and I wanted to know where everyone likes to buy beads! The Target near my house doesn't sell any beads, so I'll have to go somewhere farther away, and I'd like to know where everyone else goes

I go to Joanns because they're the cheapest, but Michael's has more colour options.

Michael's or Joann's depending on what I need (Michael's does sell more colors) and who has the best coupons at the time! Sometimes amazon if I need a lot or if I can't find the color I need in stores.

so I've started out buying at walmart and for the longest time I couldn't buy from anywhere else because their beads are small compared to joann or Michaels but they definitely have better and sturdier beads. Just in smaller counts and more expensive.....

Sometimes I get beads from Ben franklin, hobby lobby, Michaels, or JoAnn's,but Walmart is the cheapest in my city/town, and sometimes I find bags of pony beads at thrift stores. But with thrift stores, sometimes you open the bag and you just get a HUGE wiff of CAT. So it is a struggle with second hand beads sometimes. But I've found really unique beads that way, and brand new bags for way cheap.

I've been looking at places to buy beads for a couple of years now, and I gotta say, http://jollystore.net/ has the best quality for the price. Their beads are the most round, clean, solid nice beads I've ever purchased and are even USA made! The colors are always vibrant and at the most, I find 1 or 2 dud beads in the bag of 1000. They also have mini pony beads and a variety of other beads.

I just think for the quality and the nice array of colors, they are a super great site.

i shop at michales from time to time but i work for walmart so i normally go there since when i clock off in the morning i can buy what i need (also i stock that department lol so i know what comes in when and if i need something in bulk i can ask my boss to order it or if we've been out for a while i can ask) something i've noticed is buying at differnt locations means different sizes and thats kinda a pain.

Also a odd but really great place to buy beads is some beauty supply stores (not trying to be racist but there's a store my mom goes to i forget the name but she calls it the "black women beauty supply" they've often got pony beads there the only difference is they are labeled "hair beads" but they function just the same and no they are not the kind that you snap shut they are honest to god pony beads
