I had previously seen an entire strand of glass fruit beads at the local bead store, but was preoccupied with other beads at the time.I thought about those cool fruit beads and wished I could have a handful of them to play with, not necessarily an entire strand.
Well....good news! When I made the trip to Ally Beads over the weekend, I was very pleased to find that they now have a little treasure chest full of $1 baggies containing miscellaneous leftover beads in them.
I found 3 baggies that each had at least 2 fruit beads in them! Yay!
I'm excited to work these into a project and would love to hear ideas for using them. I believe all together I have 10 pieces of fruit! :)
Let me know what you think!

Hi Lisa, Great find! I'm not to sure what you might be able to make with them but I'm sure that you'll come up with something fantastic! I hope that you have a good rest of your evening.
Giant hugs to you...

Hi Lisa -
I am sure you will be able to come up with something cute and whimsical. The beads are perfect for summer. Post a pic when your finished.

Make a fruit salad design with them: colorful and fresh!
Great find! I'm sure they would make a cute summer bracelet, necklace and earrings. If you are looking for more fruit you might try going to orientaltrading.com They have a lot of beads now (which I just found out). Use the search and put in "fruit beads". Good prices.
The beads are cute, definitly summery...I know you will make something just right with them!
Cheers
you find the greatest things! I need to start visiting my local bead stores and see what they have. I can't wait to see what you make. i have a thing for fruit. i have it all over my house ;)
Can't wait to see the "fruits" of your labor. Couldn't resist. Seriously have fun.
