Behind the Beads: Unboxing the June 2024 Bargain Bead Box w/Curator Lauren Fenty 

Thanks for being adventurous and adding the Octopus. And, it goes so well with the other beads and caps.

Love this box!❤ You are the only company that did a sea themed box!! ❤

Went to the post office and surprise my package was there! Got to me fast! I absolutely love this collection!! My Maifanite strand was beautiful! Thanks for giving makers such a valuable "bargain" collection to look forward to each month! God Bless You-all!!

After watching the video I understand. Yes my beads are correct. Thank you for helping me understand. I love BBB.

I got mine a few days ago and fell in love with the octopus. As soon as I get done crocheting a cat couch I will be making something with these jewelry pieces.

Amazing box! Love the variation if findings and the different colours and shapes of the beads. Don't know how you manage keep your boxes so interesting every month. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

This box is fabulous...definitely one of my favorites. I love the patina and the brass color and I absolutely appreciate the findings. I can't wait to start playing with this collection! Thank you for all of your amazing work!! ❤❤

This box is one of my favorites. I love all things beachy. The colors you put together represents a complete day at the beach. I plan to order a 3rd box of this collection. I hope you had a relaxing vacation, it was great to see you again on our little island.

You all are the hardest working team in the bead business! Thanks for all you do!

I love the colors and textures. Wonderful beach and ocean feel. Your nails blend so well with this months box.

This was my first box. I have wanted to join for a while and I'm glad I did. I really appreciated receiving the more uncommon gemstones and the brass findings. The patina is beautiful. Keep up the good work . I look forward to seeing what you come up with for next months box. ❤❤❤❤

I am loving creating with this box! Can’t wait to show y’all what I’ve made!

Very nice collection. I love the Kraken! We are Pirates of the Caribbean fans. Looking forward to seeing what you make with him.

Loved this months box, including the octopus.

This was my first time ordering these boxes and I feel so lucky that this was my first one! I totally love everything in this box and totally love the octopus and all the matching metal components, I already know what I am going to do with my Kraken!! ❤❤. Look forward to seeing what future boxes hold. 😊

This box was great. Loved the colors and sea charms. I’m looking forward to get started. Thanks

Love the box, and it will be interesting to work with.

This is my favorite month ever so far. I love eclectic!!! Not fond of drab earth tones or hot colors like last months. Love Greens, blues, pinks, purples even white.

Loved working with the Maifanite, which is new, but a welcome surprise. The orbicular pattern reminded me of barnacles and turritella agate. The bicones were really cool. The carnelian was simply juicy. I loved those. I'm having fun exploring this box. Looking forward to see what everybody comes up with. Happy to find the extras in the Sister store. I jumped right on it because I knew when playing in my box that I had to have more. 😁😁

Love love love this box. Thank you ❤❤❤❤

I like the collection. It is challenging me to put new colors and textures together. I like that about it. It is fun to work with, and the turtles are charming.

Love everything about this box! So beautiful!

This month's box is amazing. Love the turtles 🐢 and the octopus is awesome 🐙 Thanks for another great box.

Thank You everything is So Beautiful! The bead caps, spacer beads the earring/pendant and the shells are so pretty. Well like I said there ALL pieces Beautiful.

Great combination 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖

Another gorgeous collection of beads! I love the octopus and the entire thing.❤

I like this box, as usual. You laying them out gave me ideas & I’m excited to see what you do with it!

I absolutely LOVE my box! Thank you so much! ❤️

Love this beautiful box. Well done Team BBB. Look forward to receiving new ones every month! 🎉😊🎉

Another lovely collection! I enjoy mixed metals, I think it adds depth and interest. It's also unexpected. It's nice that your supplier is willing to work with you when the unexpected occurs. Overseas shipments can be challenging. At least it's never boring, right? (Looking forward to your sweet daughter's next tutorial. She is precious!)

Thank you so much for putting these wonderful collections together for us...I'm new to beading and this makes it so very helpful...Not to mention the whole community of beaders are so inspiring and helpful📿

Fun box, love the patina'd pieces!! Also realized the window beads are pretty with the unakite i had from a previous box.

I love it!!! Fun!

This box is absolutely adorable! I really love the patina findings, it's so different. I would love to see patina show up maybe once every maybe 18 months or so. I can't wait to see some of your designs. 😍

Love 😍this box so much! Love getting things that we don’t see all of the time

I Love this box the colors and metals are amazing. Thank you all so much

Wow! For the 1st time I used most of my box! I made some pretty stuff. Your videos must be an inspiration. I’m looking forward to seeing what 😂ever else made!

Bead, how breathtaking unboxing. )

Love the theme and the box! At first, the colors were a little puzzling, but when I thought about the texture and patterns, I got it. Love the patina-ed pieces and the kraken. So far, I made a long necklace using the octopus and mostly darker beads including the bronze lava, maifanite, coral window, teal and the bicones for the ocean depths. I also made a shorter necklace to layer using same beads and the shell charm as a pendant. Today I was near the top of the ocean using the turtles, dyed quartz, white lava, green glass, and I threw a few of the coral beads in to go with my amazonite pendant, which had a lot of dark brown with some coppery veining. In fact I pulled out copper findings from my stash for it. I made earrings from the 2 patina-ed pendants and the carnelian for the first necklace set and a pair to coordinate with the lighter necklace. And I still have tons of beads left. Fun box!

I love the octopus. Not too big or bold for me!

I was so stoked when I saw the octopus pendant! I've been wanting to buy one on the sister site for ages but never knew what to put with it. This box is amazing ❤

I love it

agani --a creative box- something for everyone to design with

We need a box with Rhodonite!! I signed up after you had one. So I didn't get one.

Hi what a beautiful mix...i love all ur mixes you contrast everything so well with each other..i got a question are crystal beads man made? i love the orange 🍊 andthe lighter green omg..thankyou for the idea of a sun catcher ill do that!❤❤

Mine was green. Why

It’s is a beautiful box but one of the turtles 🐢 is missing a leg.

I think it is v we i t Is very nice

the same thing again, that was brought by last month's bag and other stones were brought last month. I am not going to pay for the subscription this month to have the same things, so many things that there are and always the same

Disappointed
