It started at a card table.

Happy Beads began as a stand with a white tablecloth, a yellow sign and $3 bracelets. The stand is still open. Now the bracelets ship too.

Hi. I'm Tennyson.

I'm 10 and I string every bracelet myself. My favorite part is when someone picks colors I never would have thought of. My parents run this website and help me pack every order.

Tennyson, founder

Good questions.

How long does shipping take?

Single orders ship in about a week, since each one is strung by hand. Big orders take about two weeks. Everything goes out by USPS.

How do I pick a size?

Wrap a string around your wrist and measure it. Kid is 6 inches, teen is 6.5 and adult is 7. The bracelets stretch, so if you are between sizes, go up.

How do I pay?

There is no payment on this website. Send your order and we email you to confirm your colors and send a payment request. Your bracelets go on the string after you pay.

Can I buy at the stand?

Yes. Bracelets are $3 and necklaces are $5 at the stand. Follow along on Instagram to see when it's open.
