When you’re making and selling your own beaded jewelry, every penny counts. It’s easy to get caught up trying to buy the most expensive beads and supplies to make the most expensive beaded jewelry you can, but that’s not always the best strategy to make the largest profit. You really want to try to mix affordability with creativity to strike the perfect balance of quality beading supplies with beads that you can make a profit from.

And while I love visiting new bead stores and can spend hours pouring through the latest bead catalog, sometimes searching in more unique stores and shops can yield some amazing finds. Here are some unique and unexpected places you can start looking for low-priced bead jewelry supplies and beads:

Discount and warehouse stores: There are lot of chain discount stores that now sell bead jewelry making supplies and beads. Certain stores carry seasonal beads, while some stores just have a regular stock of them available at all times. Either way, these stores will sometimes offer quality brand-named beads at a price that can’t be beat!

Large chain craft stores: A lot of our chain craft stores have closed down recently, but there is one about an hour away from me that I recently visited and I was amazed at the large selection of beads and jewelry supplies and I was even more surprised at how affordable most of it was. A year ago they only had about one store aisle designated to jewelry making, but now they had three and a half aisles of beading supplies, jewelry supplies and even beading books that they didn’t have before.

Home Improvement stores: Yes, I know this sounds crazy, but if you’re looking to add some fun and unique pieces to your jewelry then you really have to think about going to a home improvement store and looking over their sections of fasteners, screws and even grommets. You just need to have some creativity to create some truly unique and amazingly affordable pieces of jewelry.

It’s amazing what sort of beads and jewelry supplies you can find when you’re thinking outside the box. Some of these stores aren’t the kind of place you’d normally go to find jewelry supplies, but I’ve learned to be open-minded when it comes to finding great ways of making jewelry.

So keep an eye out wherever you shop and always be ready to look for and buy some cheap beads. Every time you shop you may be just moments away from finding some amazing deals on beads for making jewelry.
