Crafting With Kids: Beads!

By Twistie

If there’s one thing that most kids love when it comes to crafts, it’s bright, shiny stuff. In particular, it’s hard to have too many beads. But beads can get expensive. How to get the most bang for your buck? Shop in bulk, of course!

Amazon has this attractive collection of 150 grams of lampwork glass beads for $9.99. That works out to more than 50 beads, in a variety of colors, sizes (mostly 6 – 14mm), and techniques of production. In short, it’s a fun grab bag that will appeal to nearly any kid old enough to safely enjoy them.

Or, if you’re looking for more variety, there’s always Mr. Kitty’s Big Bead Bonanza. It weighs in at half a pound, filled with beads of every color, material, and shape. You may even find a few findings mixed in!

Get them for your kids, get them for yourself… I won’t tell. Just have fun with whatever arrives in the bag.
