Help - question about packaging beads
I need some advice. I've heard that the kids in BOC love getting their beads in organza bags with the name of the beadmaker included. But I've also heard that BOC packages everything in plastic bags. Is it OK to send our special focals in organza bags or will BOC just toss them out?
Thanks tons!

Did you find the answer to this question Lori? Would love to know as I have some larger beads to send out.
Thanks!

It's my understanding that the organza and other cloth bags are bigger and are used to contain the children's bead collections when they aren't wearing them. Individual beads go out in small plastic bags as this makes it easier for the kids to see them when they are choosing their own Act of Courage bead. It also reduces the number of hands that contact individual beads along the way.

This is good to know...I packaged all of mine individually in small plastic bags.

Thanks Lori, not a problem at all. What I've been doing is putting my beads into small plastic bags with a note that says "Made with love by Diane Woodall". I've been told that the kids like to know the artist's name if possible.
Thanks for everything you and Robert are doing for BOC.
