      Such a fun experience and souvenir!!

      My bestie and I love Little Words Project, so when we found out there was a bead bar in Disney Springs we had to make a souvenir from our girls trip! The staff were so friendly and we get compliments all the time on our bracelets! We will do it again!!! Thank you!!

      So much fun at the Bead Bar!

      My 3-year-old and I visited the Bead Bar on a rainy day for a fun, screen-free and creative activity - and we had so much fun! She is so proud of her new bracelet, and she was even able to string most of it herself. There were endless colors and styles of beads, the staff was really sweet, and it was a great way to spend a mommy-and-me day. Highly recommend!

      The best!

      I'm so happy with my bead bar experience and bracelet! I had a bracelet made for myself in honor of my daughter's first birthday.
