Perler Bead Questions.

[HAKnSLASH]

Hi! I'm new to using Perler Beads and have several questions regarding them.

1) I live in Canada, where are the best places to pick up Perler Beads? Is there anywhere I can find just single colors? (In store, not online)

2) What do you use to store/organize your Perler Beads?

3) Where can I find a bigger board to create bigger items?

4) What do you do to prevent your neck from hurting when working for long amounts of time?

Thank you very much. Sorry for being so noob.

I keep my beads in plastic craft organizer boxes from Hobby Lobby or JoAnn. A bag of 1000 beads fits just about perfectly into 2 cubes of this kind of tray.

Try Michael's, if there's one near you. Canada really is lacking in its big-chain craft stores. But they'll have those plastic organizers for your beads, at least- I got mine there. (I don't know if they carry the actual beads, but they probably do...) You could also try Wal-Mart, either in their craft section or in kids' toys.

Good luck!
