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

2nd time purchasing. Many pony, but still Good variety of plastic beads. Only broken beads were star type. They’re just too delicate to be included in this bead assortment.

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.

My daughter spent days sorting these out and has a huge assortment of beads for her projects now. Good colors and variety of sizes and types.

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.

When I ordered this, I didn't comprehend the volume of beads that would be delivered to my door. I am both horrified and delighted.I have a 10 year old daughter who needs extra help following instructions and making good choices and well... I want to say these are for her, but deep down in my little goblin heart I know that I got these for the little goblin girl inside of me.So, when I opened the amazon box and saw a smaller box inside I was intrigued. When I lifted the small box I was more like "oof this is heavier than I expected." It was full. Very full. To the top. It arrived in a very nice and satisfactorily puncture resistant bag that was very well sealed. I pulled it out of the bag upside down in fact, which was fine because it was packaged very securely. And that's when my daughter saw what it was. She also has an inner goblin and it is full of glee.I cut open the bag and poured them into a large bowl of unspecified volume capacity. The chapstick was not included and was used to show scale. It's so much. I am having a hard time processing the magnitude of beadage I have acquired. The assortment is varied and I can't even begin to start identifying individual shapes. I am overwhelmed. It all looks so good and I want to touch all of it at once and feel them and it's so much.Yall. I almost bought 2. I didn't think 1 was going to be enough, so I debated buying a second one. I almost drowned myself in plastic shiny delightfulness and I'm not sure if I should be sad or relieved--whether it was a mistake or a narrow escape. My partner will be home in 3 and a half hours and he has no idea. I like to imagine him opening the front door and there just being a hiss and rush of plastic shininess flowing out of the house like water as he, in a panic, wades through the ever deepening madness, desperate to get to the car before he is overwhelmed. There is no escape. The tires spin and tiny plastic gemlike rainbow pellets scatter everywhere, but the car does not move. The outpour continues. There are no survivors.10/10, I like the idea of buying again, but it's finna be a hot minute before I need more. Excellent value for money. Would be PERFECT for an art teacher or for sensory play. Does not fit in a gallon ziplock bag. Does not fit in a gallon ice cream pail. Might fit in 2 gallon ziplock bags, or in 2 gallon ice cream pails, or a 2 gallon bucket. It is a lot of beads yall. I cannot stress this enough.

I looked at reviews and it was 50/50. I got 1 order and very happy with it. Yes it's all plastic beads but I knew that before I ordered. I just wish it had a more animal beads, I only got 4. Will be placing another order

This is good if you mainly want pony beads of different colors. There is not much of the other types of beads. For a 5 lb bag you eoulf expect a better mixture. Pony beads make up more than 98% of the total amount of beads. There is hardly anything else there

Okay, so this gets 4 stars and here's why. 1 when I first bought this they sent me a case of pony beads and not the 5 pound bag as promised. 2 it was hard to get into contact with someone in getting a new one sent because I was not about to waste my time returning the case after I spent over $24 for these beads just to end up with that. 3 when I finally got the 5 pound bag in the following pictures I'm excited and a little disappointed because these beads are nice for me to make children bracelets with, but they are mostly pony beads. Also, the special beads are mostly animals too, which bith are a little disappointing. 4 after separating everything I found beads of various sizes which was nice, but I also found a handful of broken pieces and very small pieces I couldn't separate and may not be able to use. 5 overall I may get this depending on how the bracelets I make from these do in the events I sell at over the summer.
