>I'll probably need to buy beads
this is known as business
if beads were free then everyone would make and sell these things and so the market would flood and nobody would buy them

Go to goodwill and buy up all the shit the socker moms drop off youll get them for a lot less but have to sort them out

You can probably get them for a dollar a pound on ebay, they're just little plastic rings. Not worth the time to make them, unless that's your goal.

Yep, just looked them up. Apparently they're called perler beads, and they go for about a dollar per thousand. They even sell mixed beads in bulk, if you want a bunch of different colors and don't mind being in a miniature version of lego hell.

I used to chew on them, good times

You expect to make money off perler bead projects? You can buy the kits at every craft store in the US. Plus every kid that was born in the 80-90s will probably still have the shitty ones they made as a kid.

Haha me too.

There's no market for this, OP. Sorry. Please forget about it and think of something else.

If you get a stall at a convention with 8bit looking shit they sell no problem. But more of a hobby than a business

There is a considerable market of copyright-violating bead art, just no profit. Etsy is flooded by people selling their work for a few cents an hour.

There is a reason everything is made in China now.
