    The kits make it so much easier to do a project & the storage tin keeps it all together.

    Supplies for recent tutorials are frequently out-of-stock forcing you to buy a package of 100 rather than 20.

    I always have a great experience shopping with Potomac Beads. I don't have a large budget for bead buying so have to wait to order till the amount you need to buy to get free shipping is lower.
