Anyone who's ever been to a bead shop?

I've seen many of these at craft stores, but I've never seen the names of them all together. Most packaged beads will say how many to a package, but not necessarily what they are called.

Interesting and educational chart. Thanks

@ChynnaBlue

Thank you for the information about beads and jewelry supplies. Do you make your own jewelry?

I have. I picked it up from my mom in the 70s and then took some classes again a few years back.

I was really into beading for a while. I'm one of those crafters who goes all in on something, sticks with it for a few months, then loses interest and pick up something new. I have storage bins full of yarn, beads, embroidery floss, rubber stamps, and more. I've done knitting, beading, decoupage, marbling, candles, soap, paper making, acrylic paints, sewing, shrinky dinks, face painting, stocking dolls, stained glass, pottery, painted glass, and so many more.

Jewelry and knitting are the ones I've stuck with the longest.
