Folks let me shoot straight and accurate with you, there's likely no https://www.chunkyboybeads.com | IG/FB: Chunky Boy Beads with out Bernie's Beads! I am one of many stores that are sourced from the Lawitz Brothers (Formerly Beads Galore). They are a staple in the valley of Phoenix ‍. They have ancient beads, cultural beads, natural stone beads, exotic glass beads, Bone, Shell, Wood, etched Agate, ishi etc. etc. etc. if you are crafting, and haven't stopped by Bernie's, you're selling yourself and your shop short. Regardless of your budget, they will help you! They will recommend their vast 40+ years of knowledge and wisdom in the beading world freely. I've seen Bernie's Beads (Bernie & David Lawitz) take the time out to construct or repair a project onsite...while other customers are literally in the shop. Who gives service to that degree in 2025? NO ONE‼ Go get whatever your heart desires from Bernie's Beads and watch the quality of your work escalate

Hildie & Jo copper wire!The colors are beautiful.

I cannot say enough great things about Bernie's Beads!! The selection of glass, trade, fine beads is amazing. Prices are insanely good and the atmosphere is Classic Rock If there is a new gemstone, cut or color, Bernie's will have it. If he doesn't have it, ask him and he'll likely source it for you. The findings are incredible and David is so helpful with stringing ideas. I've even seen both Bernie and David assemble necklaces and bracelets for customers. Bernie's still has the best jades in town if not the entire state. I stop in when I'm not working. I'm the person sitting at the table with the golden leopard print Brahmin handbag. Say hi if you see me! I love talking to people and showing you beads that the store has even though I'm just a happy customer.

Bernie has the best in selections. My new ruby stones in the picture - if you haven't been to this store you are missing out.

I love the variety in selections that are available. I have been going to Bernie for years and still has the best of selections. If you haven't been to his store you are missing out.

I go to Bernie's for pretty much all of my jewelry making needs. I have so much fun shopping there due to the huge selection and friendly staff. Hit up Bernie's when you're feeling creative

Cute store that offers various crafting workshops. I attended the sea glass succulent workshop. The…read moreinstructor was extrenely informative (and suppprtive), she made sure everyone had material and constantly checked to ensure nothing was running low. She was available for questions throughout the entire workshop if needed. The pricing for attending the workshop was extremely reasonable. It was such a fun experience, I have already signed up for my next workshop!!!

I had never heard of this place before until my coworker reached out to try and plan a girls' night…read morethere. We signed up for the Blankets & Besties workshop, where you make a chunky blanket. You get to choose your color from a list and note it when you register on their website. It was $85 before tax and came with 5 skeins of yarn, with the option to add more (I think for an additional $15). I also put in the notes on my registration the names of my friends so that we could sit together. The workshop was at 6pm on a Friday and lasted about two hours. There was my group of three and three others, plus the owner/instructor Lauren. Her instructions were easy to follow, and she would jump in if we needed help. I made a few errors, and she was able to fix them for me. I ended up making my loops too loose on the outside and too tight on the inside, so my blanket came out a bit small. But I think it was decent for my first attempt. It's so soft. I keep it on my couch to use as a lap blanket. We all had a great time and would definitely come back to try other workshops. My coworker had tried one of the resin workshops and really liked it too.

Went with friends for a girls' day out, and we had a great time! But honestly, a day with my…read morefriends is fun no matter what we do. The staff was helpful, encouraging, and created a really laid-back craft experience. Tips if you go: * Plan for about 4 hours for a small rug. * If it's your first time, keep your design simple--straight lines are much easier than curves. * Be prepared for tired arms and hands by the end! * If you're using the stencil projector, Apple phones seemed to connect better than other types of phones. * Bring some jams--music definitely makes the 4 hours more enjoyable. * Bring something to drink because 4 hours is a long time! Pros: Overall, it was a fun, creative, and completely new learning experience. There's a lot of talking, problem-solving, and figuring things out together while you work, so I could also see this being a really fun date-night activity. Cons: It was a little pricey at $80+ per rug. My biggest issue is the size--you end up with roughly a 1' × 1' rug, and I'm still trying to figure out what you actually do with it. It's a little too small for practical floor use and kind of heavy for wall décor. Maybe just the right size for a very firm seat cushion... lol. Bottom line: Fun experience, especially with friends, but I'd love to see a larger finished rug option for the price!

Fun place to go with my creative daughter who already done everything else available…read more Parking was a little bit of a hassle & projects can be expensive. Employees seemed a little understaffed so don't take a group of Littles that are gonna need a lot of extra help. My daughter was young, but she did fine. I would say older kids and adults will have the best experience.. This place is worth at least one visit for any makers out there.
