Jewelry supplies at … Target?

On the About.com Jewelry making site I just read about the possiblity of getting some supplies for Jewelry Making in the “dollar” section at Target stores. I’ve seen this so called dollar section before, which is usually located in the front of the store near the checkouts or carts. But I’ve always avoided it because I didn’t think there could possibly be anything of value there. According to the article by Tammy Powley, the store near her had a whole bunch of really cheap tubes of beads and some related supplies. The supplies included those storage containers with dividers and bead trays as well as some pliers.

Bargain Beads at Target

I am definitely going to have to investigate that dollar section next time I’m at Target. The quality of the beads can’t possibly be that good, but then again some of the stuff that is sold at Joann and Michael’s isn’t really of fancy quality either. You probably wouldn’t want to buy beads or crystals from Target to use in your jewelry that you sell, but it might be good for making gifts or perhaps ornaments for the holidays.
