I think jewelry can be fun. When we were kids, the little girls in the neighborhood had colorful plastic beads with a little nub on one end and a hole on the other so they could connect them together and make necklaces and bracelets.

When they were separated they made a satisfying “pop” sound, thus the name.

I doubt if pop beads are as popular as they once were, but I think they were a great introduction to fun art, and a great way to introduce little girls to the fun of creating their own jewelry!
