Mardi Gras beads are one of the most popular trinkets in the world. They have different meanings for different events throughout many countries and cities across the world. There are as many designs as there are uses. The beads are purchased by Mardi Gras Krewes to throw during their parade route, by party planners for decorations and by a
rtists to add to sculptures and other art creations. We could go on all day compiling a list of things that different customers use the beads for all year around. There is however, one question that is pretty common, “What is the most popular bead for the money that I can get the most of?” This question is what we will answer today.
Mardi Gras parades are put on by many different groups and organizations most commonly known as Mardi Gras Krewes. They plan year round for their parade and put a lot of work and effort into making sure everything is as grand and extravagant as possible. From their Krewe costumes all the way to the decorating and painting of the Mardi Gras flo
ats. They could quite possibly be the number one consumer of the most popular bead seen at all the Mardi Gras Parades in places like New Orleans, LA and Mobile, AL. What is the most popular bead? We will tell you after we look at two more genres of consumers that love this bead.
Party planners are always pushed to have super creative and unique ideas for their customers. Their customers depend on them to create a memorable and fun event that all of their guests will love. Creativity depends upon the planner’s ability to think outside the box and use new resources to create a decorative and fun look that will wow the guests. This is where the beads come in, whether you call them Mardi Gras beads, Throw Beads, Parade Beads, or just decorative craft beads. They work. So what is this bead? We will tell you right after we discuss on more niche that uses these bulk beads.
Art is a very broad word that is used to describe many creations from the minds of countless people across the world. There is always room for new materials to create with. Some artists will use acrylics, some will use discarded materials, or some will use purchased materials. Among all of this art is a form of art known as bead art. Cheap beads in bulk are used in the creation of many art forms. They are melted, glued, and molded into many different things. Art can sometimes be a trial and error process, so being able to buy a large amount of beads for little money, allows the artist to experiment without much cost. So, what is this famous, popular, cheap bead sold by the bulk that everyone uses? Now, we will tell you.
The number one choice of beads is the 33” 7mm global cut bead. The reason that they are so popular is because they are sold in such high quantities so you get a bulk 
discount. Some of the other beads that you will find sell for one to three dollars each. Not a bad deal, depending on what you plan to do with them. The M1107 (That is the product code for the 33” 7mm bead) comes in many colors and can be bought for $6.90 a bag. There are 12 dozen to a bag of beads.

Rio de Janeiro is the second largest city of Brazil and is the capital city of the State of Rio de Janeiro. It garners the title of 6th largest city in the Americas by having a population of approximately 6 million people. Located in Brazil on the coast of the South Atlantic Ocean, Rio de Janeiro is a hub of culture for Brazil and considered by many as Brazil’s primary tourist attraction. Receiving the most visits of any South American city, it is the home to many attractions such as the Corcovado and Sugarloaf mountains. However, the attraction we are going to learn about in upcoming posts is the 2012 season of Carnival or Carnaval and its history.
There are a lot of similarities between Carnaval and Mardi Gras. There are many distinctions as well that Carnival boasts. We will explore the how the streets of the favelas have an outpouring of support for the Blocos and Bandas that many people say is really the life of Carnival. Rio Carnival is a 4 day celebration that starts on Saturday and ends on Fat Tuesday. The many Blocos and Bandas during this time of year make it one of the biggest events around.
What about the parading and throws? Are there bulk Carnaval beads thrown throughout the parades? Are Carnival throws a huge part of the celebrations or are they more focused on artistically expressing themselves through Carnival masks, dress and music, such as Samba? We will soon find out as we travel (virtual) to Rio de Janeiro to learn all about Carnival 2012 or Carnaval 2012. However you know it, we are sure you will be excited to learn all about their traditions.
