Buying Wholesale Acrylic Beads Versus Making The Items At Home

Many people like to do things for themselves. These do-it-yourself people try to find out if making beads at home is cheaper than buying wholesale acrylic beads. Wholesale acrylic beads are available online from many different merchants, but the main problem with them is the fact that the crafter winds up with a large amount of beads that are the same size, shape, and color.

Wholesale acrylic beads can be purchased by a group of jewelry makers so that they can split up the large number of the beads they get. This lessens the amount of beads one person has to store and use.

Wholesale acrylic beads may seem cheap when you calculate the price per bead that you will be paying, but do not forget to add in the amount of shipping fees you will have to pay for the items. The additional money that you pay to get the items shipped to your home may make the individual beads cost more than you wish to pay.

Wholesale acrylic beads have to be ordered, and then you have to wait for the shipment to come in. Sometimes the crafter needs the beads before the order arrives, and sometimes when they want more of one certain color, size, or shape, they discover the merchant they bought the beads from in the past no longer carries the ones they are wanting to buy. This can be frustrating if you are making jewelry pieces that are selling well.

Making the beads you want at home will allow you to make only the colors, sizes, and shapes, that you need, but the process is time consuming, and requires that you have an area in your home that you can work in.

Your work area will need to be well ventilated because the acrylic epoxy kit that you will use to create the beads can cause toxic fumes in tightly enclosed places. You want to be able to let plenty of fresh air into the room you are working in.

You will need to compare the amount of money that you have to pay for the modeling clay that you will make your molds from, the talc that you will use to keep the molded clay from sticking to your hands, and other objects, the cost of the acrylic epoxy kit, the cost of the wire you use, the cost of the dyes required to make the beads the right color, and the cost of the utilities, like gas, that it takes to heat the oven you bake the molds in. Add to all of these costs what you time is worth, and then divide the number of pieces you made into it to determine if the wholesale acrylic beads are more cost effective to buy.
