Hey pretty gang! hope this helps! Please remember things are only as expensive as you make it! Stick to only buying when you actually need it based on supply and demand! if nobody been wanting bing then no need to keep buying lol but just remember to do your own Research based on what you prefer and what your budget is like!
I have an entire collection of Bead Landing crystals from Michael's. They're absolutely beautiful and Michael's has "bulk" pricing online for certain shapes and colors, and frequent sales. As a fairly new tech, I learned a long time ago how to ball on a budget lol
Yeah lol I think ppl are just caught up in buying everything in a pic that clients send them and now it’s a weird cycle of charge your “worth” and let’s just buy expensive stuff so we can keep charging 🤷🏽♀️😂
@nailsbyprettyface Exactly! I work from home, so I don't really have "overhead"...I was already paying them bills anyway lol. I charge my worth based on my expenses, but I choose to make my biggest expense the purchase of quality materials and diy whatever I can
Yeah Michaels and hobby lobby are the only like craft stores that ik of that have in store crystals bc they carried swarvoskis! Ppl were worried they wouldn’t have replacements but any company that sold Swarovski has a quality replacement lol
Dang, I just found your channel and I'm super late but I have to tell you that you did a great job on this video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this and I completely agree with you. I think that so many techs are going to find this video super helpfu, thanks again.❤
Not sure what that is lol but any rhinestones that are plastic def won’t have too much shine and will be super dull from wear and tear vs like more glass like materials!
These aren’t AS shiny as Swarovski and the AB crystals are def not as high quality but definitely pretty af and my go to when I don’t wana pay that price lol
No but clients can’t tell and tbh as a person who used only Swarovski and still have some there’s nothing much difference when they’re altogether so I don’t even buy Swarovski it’s too much of a pain 😂 there’s some random sites I get some really high quality ones when I need a big bulk order
The bead landing looks just like Swarovski, more so than preciosa. I've compared and I'm starting to wonder if Michaels didn't rename Swarovski like other companies have 😮
