I find the cheapest way to do it is to buy the beads and the boards separately. The big boxes of beads last a while and are often reduced on Amazon. You can buy a big box of 10,000 for around £10 and sometimes cheaper if you find a good offer. I buy my peg boards from our local craft shop where they cost about £1.50 for a larger board, and a bag of 1000 beads all the same colour costs around £2. Boards are £2 in Hobbycraft and a bag of 1000 Hobbycraft beads is around £2.Jennifer Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135607034769804251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-4929823048175730442014-11-11T22:40:17.585+00:002014-11-11T22:40:17.585+00:00I've never tried the Ikea beads but it sounds ...I've never tried the Ikea beads but it sounds like they might be worth a look, thanks for sharing!Jennifer Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06135607034769804251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-44511625813677713982014-10-29T22:09:39.927+00:002014-10-29T22:09:39.927+00:00I want to get into this are they pricey!?
