Okay you call for layard in your beadies. Is that the plastic "string" they sell in craft stores?? How often do you update the site with new beadies? |

Hi Pete, Yes, lanyard is the plastic string in the craft stores sometimes called Plastic lacing. I prefer to use 1/8 inch satin ribbon or 28 guage floral wire when I make my beadies, however, alot of people tell me they prefer the lanyard because the beadie holds together better. Try both and see which one you prefer. I add updates to the site about 1 or 2 times a week depending on the amount of time I have between designing the patterns and my everyday life. I have another designer named jessica who sends me awesome patterns to add to the site and I do so as time allows. Hope this helps. |

I use ribbon, like the kind that you wrap presents with and it works great. |

Try this trick - Boil some water in a pot (With an Adult's Help) Place your beadie in the water after you have removed the water from the heat. Use tongs to lift out and place on towel with something heavy on top. let cool. your beadie will lay perfectly straght. http://www.craftsnbeadies.com |

Where is the best place to buy bulk, single color pony beads? I am looking for coral to do a Patrick Star from SpongeBob. |

Bolek's is the best place, and probably the only place you'll find the coral color. www.bolekscrafts.com. They don't have on-line ordering really, and they do have a shipping charge, so you might want to order a few more of their unique colors to make it worth the shipping. They have 70 colors of pony beads in 2 different sizes. http://www.beadiecritters.com Margo's Beadie Critters |
