DariceBlack, 9m Opaque Pony Craft Projects for All Ages Jewelry, Ornaments, Key Chains, Hair Round Plastic Center Hole, 9mm Diameter, 1,000 Beads Per Ba, 1000 Count (packaging may vary)

Clear beads and that’s that. Love it!! Using these to decorate some of my more viney plants and the overall look is super cute. There are a ton of them so it’s been fun to decorate as my plants grow. If you need clear beads like this, these are what you’re looking for

I got these for my son's 5th grade STEM club. They had to push rubber bands through a couple of beads, and attach a chop stick to one end, string two big rubber bands (tied together) through two paper cups with lids (duct taped together) and using paper clips and metal washers, make a stored energy wheel with a rubber band being the axis.The pony beads put together and set against a washer allowed the chop stick to spin quickly when it was released after the rubber band was twirled to have stored kinetic energy, thus making mechanical energy when released.1000 beads is overkill for what we personally needed, but I am a busy working mom and I just ordered a bag off Amazon. I didn't have time to drive to Michael's to buy a tiny bag of them.The colors look exactly like this picture. For what I was buying them for, color didn't matter, but I know it's important to crafters.I gave the extra bag of beads to the STEM club teacher. She has a big cabinet full of random supplies for all these crazy "science fair" type experiments and things they build.If you're using them for crafts, they would be perfect for that too! The kids in the STEM club pushed rubber bands through the center of these beads and that was a little tricky, but using string, yarn or other "necklace or bracelet" bands or whatever would be much easier. I can see these being useful for decorating pipe cleaner crafts too.

Some had one end where the plastic was coated over the hole and couldn't be used for making bracelets.

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!

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!

Good quality beads, easy to use, they glow in the dark as advertised. there are some small pieces of extra plastic on all the beads that have to be cut off. The pieces are sharp and will hurt our parrots who not only play with the toys we make with their feet but their beaks and tongues also.

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 wish theres was more of each color per bag since there was maybe a handful of each

I bought these to put onto fabric face mask loops --homemade or bought. It allows us to tighten them around our ears, to the right length for anyone in the house. We made a loop out of a piece of wire, put the wire loop through the fabric loop, and pull it through the bead.

Loved these some colours are harder to find daughter makes masks with these

loved these beads. extremely cute. will absolutely be purchasing more. perfect for the crafts I make.

Good, sterdy beads.Some of them have been formed and not sanded off the excess, so it's difficult to out a string through..... But there's so many beads, that it's not an issue.
