[image description: four packets of beads, each of them with brown labels reading “Krafter’s Korner” in a handwritten black font inside a swirly sunflower shape. From left to right: clear square plastic beads resembling tiny ice cubes, the label reading “Decoration Fillers Weight 180g”; two packs of standard rainbow-coloured pony beads, the labels reading “Small Beads Weight: 50g”; and one pack of giant rainbow-coloured pony beads, about twice the size of the regular pony beads, the label reading “Large Beads Weight 50g”.]

Because I’m backing up my ailing computer, I’m not able to free photos of my K-Mart haul from my camera. (Not enough USB ports!) So here’s something else I found this week - a display of new craft items at my local dollar shop, perfect for slimes, bead rings, beading and bead lanyards. I can’t say the Krafter’s Korner line is available at all dollar shops, but I’ve seen it at many, so Aussies might find their local shop worth a look.

Clear plastic cube decoration fillers: $3 AUD for a 180 gram bag. These are perfect for cronch slime and make a lovely crunch when you twist or mould the slime. One bag was enough for two slimes, so it isn’t even too expensive. Even better, I tried them out on my Monte Marte Clear Gel slime recipe and the slime holds these like a dream. I had the slime in my hands without a tray underneath and lost maybe one cube/bead.

(I don’t understand how a thing without a hole is also called a bead. Like water beads. I don’t know what else to call them, mind, but to me a bead is defined by the fact that it has a hole and referring to small items without holes as beads is just confusing.)

Regular rainbow pony beads: $2 AUD for a 50 gram bag. There’s fourteen different colours in these bags (although, for some reason, only three black pony beads between them). If you’re after inexpensive beads in lots of different colours, these are the way to go - there’s two different reds, three different blues, two different yellows, etc. Not fancy but very affordable.

Large pony beads: $2 AUD for a 50 gram bag. I like using the large beads for connectors in my bead ring lanyards (visible here and in my header photo, where I’ve used a large star bead) but also good for giant bead rings.
