Rainbow Bead Necklaces

Parades and rainbow-themed parties go through bead necklaces faster than anyone expects, so buy accordingly: six strands per package, each a 36-inch loop of 7mm rainbow beads. That length slips over a head with no clasp to fumble, and 7mm beads are chunky enough to read as color from across a street.

Sold by the package (6 necklaces) or by the case (72 necklaces).
