Where can I buy cheap packs of PRETTY beads?
My friends and I are doing a school fundraiser in school, to raise money. We want to make bracelets, but we want nice beads, not plastic ones. Anything on the internet is fine, as also is any craft store. *Micheals and Jo Ann Fabrics doesn’t have them.

DEFINITELY check out Shipwreck Beads. They sell everything from plastic beads to glass, crystal, and lampwork to gemstones and precious metal beads. Oriental Trading Co. also offers a large assortment, and has been around for years. They both sell in quantities from small to large.
Good luck!
Why limit yourselves to bracelets? Earrings are faster, I think. As well as Micheal’s [and any other craft store] and Fire Mountain, give Oriental Trading a look. They have some very nice beads and interesting findings.
Take a look at Youtube for making jewelry tutorials and see what you think.
I regularly buy my beads from Fusion Beads (at fusionbeads.com) in Seattle. My orders are received quickly and they are reasonably priced. Michaels (at least the one in Georgetown, TX) does have nice beads. If you want bigger beads, try Dollar Bead (@dollarbead.com). They have a wonderful selection of bigger glass and gemstone beads dirt cheap.
