BigBeadBar

I have always loved beads, and cannot bear to part with them once I acquire them. I never make anything with them. I just hoard them, waiting for the perfect project to materialize.

In 2020, smack dab in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, a friend expressed interest in "20mm bubblegum beads" and I started pricing them. They looked like fun and I took to them instantly. That is when I opened Big Bead Bar (November, 2020), which is my fourth Etsy shop.

We're the BIG Bead Bar because we have a BIG selection of beads to choose from, we specialize in "the BIG bubblegum beads.," we specialize in BIG (large in volume) bead orders, and, finally, we are BIG on customer service!

We are more than bubblegum beads! Maybe you are looking for just one unique strand of something completely different? If we don't have what you are looking for, ask about a special order. We can usually give you a price within 24-48 hours. Shipping can be expedited. We can discuss the shipping fees for various options to fit your budget.

Do you love beads but don't know how to make jewelry? We can design jewelry for you, too!

By day I am a college professor in business. I have been on Etsy since 2015. I enjoy Etsy because it allows me to practice what I have taught for so many years. Meanwhile in addition to hoarding beads for leisure, I am a painter. Painting is super relaxing!
