Thanks for posting that. I might get some for my mom, she makes jewelry. What a great find!
Morning Lola Nova! I am planning to make tons of stuff with these beads. And i may buy a necklace for myself ready made too. The beads are very light weight, and not as brightly colored as you would think. I can fit 20 gage wire (stretched) thru most of the bead holes. The beads are made of colored scrap paper and then varnished, so there are a few rough pieces in the bag, but it is easy enough to smooth them out. What i liked most about this is, they sent tags i can include with the pieces i make about the organization who provided the beads. I think it's a great way to help someone feed their family, get material to work with and advertise the organization too. If you get a chance, read some of the stories of the bead makers...What incredibly strong women...
Hi Mare-
Thank you for your support and for being a part of the Bead Circle! I love that you mentioned the tags that go with the loose beads. It's a nice way for the beaders to be acknowledged for their beautiful work.
Thanks again,
