Acrylic beads have become very popular because they resemble glass beads. Cost is one reason why many crafters use them as an alternative to the pricier glass. Other reasons include the facts that these beads are more durable and have better quality in terms of color and clarity. Subject beads are also easy to work with, so you can use them in any jewelry design.
Like glass, there are also different types of acrylic beads for use in jewelry making, the most common of which is the spacer beads. You place one spacer in between other bead types, so they will also be occupying a big portion in your piece. These are a cheaper type of acrylic and they are produced in simple geometric shapes. The accent beads are another type, which are bigger, more colorful and sparkly than the spacers. Accent beads are also available in many different shapes,polyethylene yarns as in spacer. Acrylic beads can also be made into pendants and charms, which are the most distinctive than other types because of the large size. These beads also tend to be more expensive that the other two, and serve as the focal point of necklaces and bracelets.
If you are a jewelry crafter, how would you prefer to buy your acrylic beads. Perhaps some of you will opt for wholesale, and the others may go for retail, saying that they are cheap, anyway. Well, even if you are not creating jewelry, you can still benefit from wholesale purchases. Besides pricing, you also get wide availability of your needed beads, you are being friendly to the environment, and you are saving your valuable time.
Pricing is clearly the greatest benefit of buying acrylic beads wholesale. While the individual acrylic beads may not be expensive, the costs of packaging and marketing will quickly shoot up overall prices in retail selling. Buying wholesale beads will eliminate these factors. When you buy your beads directly from the manufacturer, you do not have to deal with the middle man costs; therefore your beads can cost half the prices that you should pay in hobby and craft stores.
As I mentioned at the top, you can be friendly to the environment by buying wholesale beads. How can that be Retail outlets pack their acrylic beads in small plastic bags, which most often contain a few pieces of beads in them. When you buy beads wholesale, your order will come in large boxes. Even if plastic bags are used, typically these will be thinner, and their sizes will be just right for the amount of beads that you ordered wholesale.
