The Beadery Bonanza 5LB of Mixed Craft Beads, Sizes, Plastic, Round, Multicolor

Bought this big box of beads on a whim and wasn't really sure what to expect. It's now nearly a year later and I'm about to buy again. This isn't just a box of beads, it's a full-on project! I spent months sorting through the beads little by little, organizing them by type and size, and that alone made the purchase worth it simply for how much joy that brought me. Then I started making long strands of beads to hang along the walls and brighten up the apartment. There are SO many different colors/shades of the different types of beads, I've spent hours just picking my favorite combinations.There were a small handful of broken beads as I went through them, but even most of those I'm still able to use in other crafts. There are also some that seem to have multiple colors mixed into the bead (but obviously not on purpose), some with small streaks of a different color, which can make it challenging to fit into a color scheme. Compared to the sheer amount of beads you get it's an incredibly small number though and nothing that affects my excitement over this purchase.

This is a shocking amount of beads. We’re almost a year out since purchasing and we’ve had multiple sleepovers with teens making bracelets and we STILL have so many beads. You get a variety of everything, all sizes, some of them have glitter or other finishes. This is an excellent deal for the cost.

Rave kandi, bead city! 10/10 recommend (Note: mine didn’t have much black or variety in shapes but lots of colorful pony beads) - I will buy again! I make hundreds of kandi jewelry and accessories for raves/festivals.

Well worth the price! Yes, there are a lot of pony beads, but there are a good deal of other interesting beads as well. My box had animal shaped beads, heart beads, letter beads, patterned beads, etc. Like any large bag you need to pick through for what you want.

Huge lot of beads most pony tail beads

I did take out most of the unique pieces before taking the photo. I have ordered this many times and I’m hoping to get one box some day with only about 25% of the pony beads and the rest of it of random ones. I separate them and gift people some of it and they love it. I would love to gift people more of the unique ones. Please consider just one box like that but otherwise it’s a great mixer of beads for the price.

I just received my 5lb box of beads ....ordered from this place for the first time ..what a huge let down !!! No variety hardly at all mainly blue , white ,and black I paid the $25 for this thinking wow I'm gonna have truly awesome beads of all colors but wasn't so at all ...looking at all these reviews being good people all happy with there colorful beads ....I end up with crap ....I want a refund or replacement please

I've bought these beads before and noticed this package has less inventory. Weighed it on my food scale and found it weight 4.46 pounds. I hate being cheated by a manufacture.
