Pegboards



I did purchase the Super pegboard and I must advise anyone to skip it.  I assumed you would be able to connect them to other super boards or the large square boards, but you can't. That part wasn't a deal breaker for me.  I thought it would be great for larger projects, but boy was I wrong.  We purchased it when we had very few pegboards and I used it to do a couple small projects.  The board warped after only a couple uses and does not sit flat.  I found out the hard way while attempting to iron a project and the middle of the board popped up and sent the beads in the air like a game of perfection.  It immediately went in a drawer and has yet to see the light of day.


So in our early days of doing beads, we had very few boards.  Now we have a wide range of them, practically all the different ones available.  Id and I prefer the large clear square ones, Dragon prefers the small heart, and Sticks uses the large square the most, but he does use the other ones if a pattern from a book calls for it.  I thought they would be all about the different shaped ones, but not so much.  Since they are still fairly young I'm not going to weigh in heavily and recommend avoiding them.  Each artistic style is different and some are super cute and hard to pass up.  

I store the Large Square pegboards separately from the other designs since we use them the most.  I use a plastic shoe box Sterilite tote for all the different shapes (from target) and a square plastic container (from Dollar Tree) for the large square ones.
