I just got some! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-936978 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 20:07:39 +0000 T-Mom 936978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@E_wray: thanks for posting, I will have to look for my 5 yr old since I have been looking at similar necklaces on etsy for her rainbow bday party! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-936919 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:49:35 +0000 E_wray 936919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: When I recently went to the store they were located somewhere different but close by. In my local store they had it by the kids stuff. But in the center aisle. It was by the summer stuff like bubbles, water things etc. They had a whole bin full of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-936887 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:34:36 +0000 78h2o 936887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@E_wray: Where in the store were they located? Are they marketed as beads for chewing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-936876 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:28:30 +0000 allison 936876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: I got the big oval ones, and I restrung them on some satin ribbon with knots in between each one.</p> <p>I definitely would recommend restringing them, especially the small round beads. The elastic they come on seems really weak to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-936865 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:24:20 +0000 pregnantbee 936865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: They're yours! Private message your address to my wall, and I'll do my best to get in the mail by next week. A little tough since I work fulltime, but I'll figure it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-936862 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:22:58 +0000 Mrs. Polish 936862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: I'm interested.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-936858 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:21:13 +0000 pregnantbee 936858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ended up buying some that I never wore. Got purple round beaded necklace and a blue/green round beaded bracelet. I'll mail them to whomever asks me first :)</p> <p>ETA: the necklace may be bright blue. Can't remember now, and they're not in front of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-936820 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:05:34 +0000 delight 936820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the string breaks easily and these are a choking hazard, I don't get it. These are for wearing as jewelry and letting LO chew on them right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-936769 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 18:51:34 +0000 birdofafeather 936769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i am going to have to hit this up for gifts!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-936562 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 17:43:18 +0000 E_wray 936562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just went to Michaels on Friday and they have more beads!<br /> Just in case anyone wants more. I was excited to see a ton of colors and different bead options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-822785 Fri, 31 May 2013 17:46:18 +0000 lemondrop 822785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@E_wray: Glad you found some! I found that the elastic broke very easily, so I re-strung it with some thin (1/4") ribbon and knotted in between each bead- exactly how my real deal $$$ Chewbeads were strung. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-822781 Fri, 31 May 2013 17:43:23 +0000 E_wray 822781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks so much. So I went to Michaels a week or so ago and looked all over. Couldn't find any. Then I was there again today looking for other stuff and I found one of the Oval ones left. YAY! So here in Canada they are regular price $8. They weren't on clearance, but today they had a 50% off coupon and I still had $1 left on a gift card so it was quite the successful shopping trip today. Poor little girl is teething so bad today it was perfect day to find them. She was trying to grab them already out of my hands at the store and started crying at the till. I will have to get on it to wash them and make that necklace! Thanks so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-795167 Mon, 20 May 2013 10:37:38 +0000 lemondrop 795167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@E_wray: I took a photo of one of the labels. I've seen them on Etsy too. </p> [attach=1790/13/mn3sqt.600x338.IMG_20130520_083420_635.jpg] [attach=1790/13/mn3sqw.600x338.IMG_20130520_083431_429.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-794980 Mon, 20 May 2013 09:42:37 +0000 E_wray 794980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is the name of the company that makes them, do you know? Or a brand ? I just saw this post and hoping finding some somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-627111 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 16:42:55 +0000 lemondrop 627111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finally found them, in the middle of the store in the sale bins next to the floral desk... Not on sale of course, but way cheaper than the alternative! </p> [attach=1790/13/mjexnk.338x600.2013-03-09_13-59-25_108.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-624313 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 13:04:29 +0000 pregnantbee 624313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops found them! Super hidden! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-624292 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 13:00:36 +0000 pregnantbee 624292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in Michael's now and can't find them anywhere. Nor do the employees know what I'm talking about :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-621973 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 18:24:13 +0000 HabesBabe 621973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: I got mine yesterday (the flat beads) and no real hair issues yet, either. So yay! </p> <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: Did you re-string them or keep them on the elastic? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-621778 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:08:24 +0000 lemondrop 621778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I'm going to have to try again tomorrow, I totally didn't see them and should have looked up this thread in the store (DUH!). The clerk had no idea what I was talking about. </p> <p>@HabesBabe: I got the real Chewbeads and have no issues with them around my hair (I read some complaints about that, but went for it anyway). I totally want more, and am thrilled to see this cost effective choice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-621443 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:35:02 +0000 mediagirl 621443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: @rattles: found 'em! I didn't look in the kids section at the other store I was in. I got them from an end cap (like Sketchbook said) in the kids section. :) I got a purple necklace with circle beads. </p> <p>My store had yellow, purple and blue circle beads and teal, pink and ...one other color...of the flat beads. They also had the circle bracelets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-619893 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 09:56:04 +0000 bunnylove08 619893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: thats good to know.. i had no idea the stores are different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-619651 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 08:00:52 +0000 mediagirl 619651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: my Michael's didn't have them. Apparently there are different "grades" of stores. Mine is a "D" store so they don't stock as much stuff. The store about 10 miles away has them, though. I'll have to stop in this weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silicone-chewbeads-for-5-dollars-michaels#post-619575 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 05:49:28 +0000 MaisyMay 619575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check this out!
