What a great idea! Maybe if we all add to this, we can bring it up to date and make it even more helpful. Potentially, this bead store map and review site could help you plan your travels. So, add your own local bead store to the map and write reviews! Let’s make this map helpful to the whole country!
I live in the metro Detroit area. The two bead stores that I especially like are Beada Beada in Royal Oak, MI and Munro Crafts in Berkley, MI.
Beada Beada is well organized and at times has rare semi-precious beads. They also have a sale wall where I have found great bargains. And best of all the staff is very pernalable and helpful.
Munro Crafts has a monthly sell on select items. I generally wait on the sale month (usually every 2-3 months) to stock up on semi-precious beads so that I can get a better deal. They have a huge inventory of beads. At first it was a little overwhelming. But now, I have a good time.
If anyone knows of any other stores in the metro Detroit area where I can find deals please let me know.
Thanks, Renee
I’m in the metro Detroit area also. I like to shop at Munro Crafts in Berkley, MI and Alada Beads in Sterling Heights, MI. I like the classes offered at Alada Beads.
Does anyone know where I can find good classes around Metro Detroit? I live in Ferndale
To Stacy Thomas:
Michaels offers many classes including jewelry making. There is one on John R between 13 and 14 mile. Also, JoAnn Fabrics offers classes and is located in the same shopping center as Michaels.
