RaverBebe 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 So I went to Walmart last night in search for some more beads to make some kandi for EDC. They had like none of the string that I wanted, and they had changed the pony beads that they carried. The brand that they have now is Elmers (like the glue) brand. They're slightly smaller than the previous ones and the color is pretty much the same but just slightly off. Maybe it's just my OCD but right now I'm debating whether or not to sort the beads into my case along with the other ones I already have and hopefully no one will notice the difference or just use them out of the bag (which is a pain in the ass). What do you guys think? Has anyone else run into this situation before? Link to post Share on other sites
Earring 1 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I wouldn't sort the beads together with the old ones. Because maybe no one else will know the difference but you will...and it WILL bug you....(It does me ) Like when I buy beads from Joans or Michael's those beads get sorted into thier own boxes and I won't mix them together, cause from far away it looks fine, but you can definitely find the odd piece out quickly from up close =/ I really hope my wal-mart doesn't change beads....

Arius 2 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 i hate getting new beads that are different sizes/slightly different shades. i have a few organizers specifically for the last few beads of this big pack i got, cause the new beads i have to replace them are slightly smaller.

florasunshine 0 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I totally know where you are coming from..... arius is right.... it WILL bug you! walmart sells little bead organizer boxes that are about 4.96 or 5.96 that are IDEAL for such a conundrum... Link to post Share on other sites
RaverBebe 0 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Ok you guys suck LOL J/K. I was hoping to just sort them all together but I knew my OCD wouldn't let me. Dammit Walmart for changing ur beads!!! I guess I need to get another organizer or two (I already have 3 and it drives my b/f crazy when we go to CA for raves b/c I usually make kandi on the way and the 3 that I have are pretty big).
