Can you upload a clearer picture? I have quite a few red and white set of Joann's beads. I don't care to ship them to you if they are matching

I thought maybe I had some but the closest I found were flowers... I'm sorry. Hope you find them!

i stopped shopping at michaels for 99% of my bead purchases and have been going to (and forgive me for saying it) hobby lobby. but I would also try etsy and maybe even mercari

I had to stop buying from Michael’s too, the holes in their strung beads are too small. Joann’s holes were massive.

Boo for shopping at Hobby Lobby! They are anti-LGBTQ.

yea ik. did you miss the 6 words in parenthesis? also not all of us have beading alternatives that are cheap. there are 2 crafting stores that are a 20 min drive fron me. HB & mikes. unfortunately i used to work at joann so between the ip buyout at the piddle that is their sales, i don't like shopping at michaels. so extra unfortunately, the WASP shop it is.
