so, I went to costco tonight, and they have this kit kind of deal that's huge and has tons of real handmade glass beads, awsome seed beads, and finding like great silver beads, drilled shells, and tons of others for 19 bucks! I highly suggest looking for it at a costco near you, cause I've paid like 1 each for glass beads they give you like 4 each of in this set!
sounds like a real score. and undoubtedly you're probably helping to pay the wage of some kid in a third world country so that he can buy rice for his sick grandmother too.
I have no idea where the beads come from, but they're the same exact beads you'd find in a bead store or online. The tag says "Jewelry World handmade glass beads spinning display" so you can look it up if you want to. I honestly never thought that that may be where it came from, but like I said, the beads are the same exact ones you can find at a bead store or Michaels or anywhere else, they just charge more there for the exact same thing.
here, found the exact same thing I just got but online for almost 8 dollars more right here----> http://www.welistit.com/tv.html?Iit=196&Ict=10
