  • Linking beads?

    I had a set of small plastic beads that you could link together. They were transparent and round with two little stalks with balls on the end at each end of the bead. The stalks and balls enabled the beads to be clipped together. Mine were red, yellow, green, blue and orange and I loved clipping them together to make necklaces. Does anybody know if they had a particular name?

    We called them pop beads thank they were also known as snap beads, but if you google image pop (pop it) beads,are they what you mean?

      Similar sort of thing. I was just wondering if the ones I had were a particular brand, as I just had them in an old bag with nothing on it. My beads looked like this (excuse the lack of artistic talent). The diamond pattern is the way the plastic was cut.

        I did have some of those, usually never quite linked together properly and the necklaces would fall off
        Not sure what they were called

          They were rubbish at holding together.
