Darice 175438 Opaque Black Pony Beads – Great Craft Projects for All Ages – Bead Jewelry, Ornaments, Key Chains, Hair Beading – Round Plastic Bead With Center Hole, 9mm Diameter, 720 Beads Per Bag

These worked great for my bracelet making. The size of the beads is what was needed to finish the bracelets and easy to use.

I'm going to leave this review on all the Darice beads I've purchased so far, since they're not all one one page. I've been buying beads at Walmart, and usually for a single color you can get 500 for about $2, but the quality of them weren't too great. For about $5 and getting 1000 of these beads are awesome. The quality difference of the beads and the ones at Walmart are very big, these beads are a bit smaller but they are more polished and look better than the ones at Walmart. Also the number of defective beads between these and the Walmart ones are big too, these beads have very little defects in them, and he ones in Walmart I would have bags with so many beads with the plastic edges and not fully cut through holes in them. These beads have the plastic edges but not nearly as much especially since there are more beads in these. I highly recommend these for kandi making, I'm gonna be buying these for a long time!

They matched the other lime green beads that I think are the Beadery brand and are very close in size (I can't tell the difference when I mix them) HOWEVER the inside hole is a bit SMALLER than the other beads I have. They still worked for my project but if this is a concern, consider this before purchasing. These beads are great otherwise and don't seem to have any defects or plastic that needs to be trimmed off of them.

I go through a lot of beads for crafting. Although these beads many not be of the highest quality, the hold up well, and this is the brand I prefer to buy. I have ordered the same brand, size, and color and on a few occasions the beads have been different shades, and o a few times different textures. What i have found ia that Darice is made in the USA as well as China, and on these occacions that has been the difference. Like all mass produced items, you will have some beads without a hole, not cut correctly, with a jagged edge or two, and some may even be broken. All mass produce products have this potential. For the price these pony beads are the best i have come across. I have no complaints. They hold up well, are glossy, and the color is pretty true to picture. I would recommend these beads to anyone. Great value.

I am a kindergarten educator and purchased these to make Mathematics resources for my class and department. I use the beads strung on elastic attached to laminated boards (my own creation) to teach number bonds. It serves my purpose perfectly. The bulk pack is cost-effective for my needs. The ease with which the beads slide along the elastic really helps the students to understand the concepts as I teach. Their little fingers are able to easily manipulate the beads as the holes are large enought. I will continue to purchase these every year for all my classes and department. Thank your for a great well-made product. Keep the supply running!

We used these beads for a Girl Scout craft & they worked great! We didn't find any unusable beads and had plenty available to complete our craft. If using these for a kid's project, I'd suggest using something to put them in for easy access & containment - we used cheap cupcake liners & they were perfect. Once you open the bag the beads kind of go everywhere!! I opened the bag & put the beads in a zip-loc style bag for easier transport to/from our meeting, then we used the cupcake liners to keep the beads contained while completing the craft. All-in-all these were a good purchase - just the size we needed & all formed the way they are supposed to be!

Good price and quality! God Bless!

i used these beads to spice up my shoelaces! i loved the variety of colors in the transparent pack! the pink is definitely more vibrant than the picture of the product shows (it looks almost white), which was a positive thing for me. these are definitely worth it for the cost and quality of the product!

As described. Good product.

Excellent rapport qualité/ prix ! Les perles s'adaptent parfaitement pour être utilisées avec des cure-pipes (chenilles). Je recommande !

Era lo que esperaba. Todo perfecto.

色がビビットでかわいいです。やや蛍光色寄り(光るという意味ではなく、色味がです)。思ったよりやや少なめ。とにかく量が欲しい方は真ん中に”BIG”て書いてあるポニービーズの方が量多いです(お名前忘れました…Amazonにもあります)。色によっての量のムラもそんなに気になるほどじゃなかったです。海外のものなのでたまーにビーズの穴が閉じていたり尖っていたりするので小さなお子様は怪我しないように注意してあげたほうがいいかもです。そんな大量じゃないので私は気になりませんでした。 やや明るめ蛍光色寄りの色味がいい方にオススメ。

Love them
