BeadCrate Subscription Box Review – March 2016

BeadCrate is a monthly subscription box for bead enthusiasts. Every month you’ll receive a curated collection of beads, findings, and other goodies to enhance your beading creations! There are three box sizes – Hobbyist ($7.99), Enthusiast ($15.99), and Collector ($35) [prices don’t include shipping] to choose from. This is the Enthusiast Crate!

I was really surprised at the pretty presentation of this box!

And it even says thanks at the bottom!

All the supplies come in a little satin bag.

Beads! Beads! More Beads!

The crate comes with a chart that tells you exactly what you’re getting, along with a curator’s note. Next month’s theme hint is “Bring Your UMBRELLA!” Must be an April showers theme!

All the beads in the box!

3mm Lt. Teal Fire Polishe Faceted Rounds (Czech Glass) 

8x3mm Lt Teal Dime Beads (Czech Glass)

6x6mm Emerald Biocone (Czech Glass)

5mm Luster Iris Atlantic Blue Melons (Czech Glass)

6mm Matte Teal AB Lentils (Czech Glass)

3mm Aqua Czech Glass Druks

11/0 Toho Transparent-Forest Crystal (Japanese Glass)

9x6mm Vertical hole Teal AB Tear Drops (Czech Glass)

7x5mm Center Drilled Fresh Water Cultured Pearls: Real freshwater pearls (and the box included 10 total)!

I love the watery, translucent, and iridescent beads in this box – everything was beautiful, and truly curated to match! I think the lentil beads were my favorite, I just like the shape for some reason, but the faceted beads were gorgeous – and all of them would be great paired with those gorgeous natural pearls. What a fun box for a beader – either to add to your stash or work up a project or two based on the items in the box!
