I’ll actually give them a 4 star. The lady is very helpful: if you have a particular project you’re working on, she’s able to give you suggestions of type of material, size, colour to use and is more than willing to bring them out top show you without being pushy at all. They also have Swarovski crystals of many sizes and colours at a better price than most places (and she’ll give you a discount if you buy in larger amounts (i.e. 50 or 100 units). They also have all sorts of glass and plastic beads, chains, wires, leather cord, some natural stones. They don’t have really fancy stuff, but I was surprised to find the Swarovski crystals and natural stones at good prices there!

A little gem on Main St. I’ve shopped here from time to time since their 1st store was located on Granville St, downtown Vancouver. A bit messy, but cheap prices. If u dig, you will find great quality items cheaper than other stores. Highly recommended!

Love this place! So many awesome finds hidden away. Also the lady working there is very helpful, knows the shop and stock inside and out. Reliable inventory.
Hours are 11 – 8 and sunday 1 – 6.

It there was a hardware store version where you mush a bead store and a craft/​nick nak store together it would look like this. The place is crowded with lots of odds and end but they likely have it somewhere. I have been back here serverl time and will try to make a trip of it again this week.

I’ve been going on and off here for single beads and knick knacks for making bracelets that I cannot get anywhere else. The prices are very hit and miss with me. They have cool stickers. My only major complaint is that this store is very cluttered, semi disorganized and aesthetically unappealing. There’s also a weird smell. The lady working there is helpful, however, she’s extremely slow at what she does which can get on my nerves.

Art supplies, knick-​knacks, bits and bobs. Lots of supplies to make things of all varieties. Sometimes the stock seems ‘odds and ends’ but if you’re not looking for some specific type of bead, just general art supplies (sequins, pipe cleaners, sparkles, etc.) and beading stuff (seed beads, clasps, chain, etc.), it’s a great place. Well-​priced.
I tend to buy more high-​end (ie: sterling silver rather than stainless steel findings) and often walk away empty handed but inspired.
P. S. They have been located on Main Street near 2nd Avenue for several years.

Anything and everything bead-​like can be found here. Think you are going in for ten minutes, you will leave and hour and half later! Good prices and the owner knows where everything is and can show you how to and what you will need in order to create whatever it is that you are there for. The amount of stuff is initially overwhelming, but take a big breath and dig in!

Sort of a sticker-​depot, this shop is aimed at children, hipster kids, and Japanese girls looking to accessorize their phones. From shiny to fuzzy, there are rolls and rolls of animals, cartoon characters, and flowers, all reasonably priced and completely impractical.
Other items include temporary tattoos of snakes and skulls, mini flags from hundreds of countries, and wide array of bizarre trinkets you’d expect to find in party goodie bags when you were 8 years old.
Not a bad place to buy last minute birthday gifts, particularly if it would be awkward if you spent more than $ 5. Everything is worth at least one laugh, or one squinted glare of confusion followed by a smile and shake of the head.
