I loved my twist a beads. I had so many pairs, I couldn't keep up with them!!! I remember that I bought some strands in metalic colors...so cool!!!

I recently found mine and I probably about 15 or 20 including coral, pearl, gold and lots of other colors. Nobody I work with knows that they were in style back in the 80's.

I have let go of just about every old fashion/accessory; but my twist-a-beads are one thing I'll never get rid of. They were a fad a threw myself into fully, spending all my spare money on beads, clasps, etc. I haven't worn them since the 80's, but I keep them in a ziploc bag hoping they'll come back in style someday. (I also have my button-cover purse, since they were in style when my sister was in high school and came back in style when I was, so I keep hoping!)

I recently found my twist beads and have begun wearing them again after I saw one of our local weathercasters on TV wearing them. I just love them, but am wondering if anyone knows where they can be purchased ... I'm missing a few colors and some of the metallics. Also, I only found one clasp after all these years.

I just found my beads (I couldn't remember what they were called until I found your page, thanks) and am putting them on Ebay. Unfortunately, I can't find any of the clasps, but who knows, I probably just don't recognized them.

My mom was wholeheartedly into these during the 80's. Sometimes she would let me wear them on special occasions like birthdays or when I was in the spelling bee. LOL. She also had a gold add a bead necklace but I don't think I was allowed to wear that one at all.

I just brought my twist-a-beads out and started wearing them again also. Anyone know where to get the clasps?

I have lots of twist-a-beads. I cannot find a clasp for them. Any ideas for where to find one?

check out ebay and also a web site called etsy.

where can i buy some twist-a-beads

I am still trying to find a site to buy twist-a-beads, can't find one. For Nancy, you can use a simple pin as a clasp for your beads. Wear a colorful pin in the front that will coordinate with the beads.

You can get twist a bead clasps on ebay, but they are called necklace shortners.

do your search for twister beads. Darice makes them along with the clasps. Our company makes gold filled and sterling silver custom clasps.

OMG OMG OMG...my daughter is 8 and SOOOOOOOOOOO loves twist beads and NKOTB and Debbe Gibson..Does anyone know where I can find twist beads..I was able to get her leg warmers at Clairs howver not the beads. The ones I had were detroyed in katrina..Thanks so much my email is melissaalmanza76@att.net

I too have a bunch of the beads from the 80s and lost my clasp. I did find clasps at firemountaingems web site. Do a search on their web site for twister style clasps.

I love these too. I still have a bunch of them that I found last week in a box out in my shed. Thank goodness for Ziplock baggies. They are in perfect shape. I also found the clasps---Yay!!

Does anyone know where to go online to buy them. I am always looking at 2nd hand shops and yard sales, but would love to find lots of them. They are also great to re-string to make other jewelry.
