About PLURcraft

Most kandi write-ups online skip the counts or bury them in a video you have to scrub. We wanted a page you can leave open next to a pile of beads: chart on top, shopping list under it, knot, go. That part is still true.

Who this is for

This site is for adult ravers — people on the rail, in the campground, at a warehouse meetup, and in the 2 a.m. hotel room stringing trades for tomorrow. It is not a craft site for children. Nothing here is designed, written or photographed for kids. “Kandi kid” is what we called ourselves at 19; it is not a product category for eight-year-olds, and you will not find it used as one anywhere on this site.

What we don't publish

Short list, no exceptions, and it applies to submissions as well as to our own charts:

• No licensed characters. No Pokémon, Disney, Mario, Hello Kitty or anyone else's IP — every pattern here is an original layout.
• No artist or label names. We do not name patterns after performers, and we do not hand out their trademarks as bead charts.
• No drug references. No molly, 420, paraphernalia or the coded versions, on beads or in copy. Keep it funny. Not coded, not a substance name, not someone else's IP.
• Nothing that identifies somebody who did not agree to it. Your own wrist, your own piece, your own photo.

Everything people send in goes past a human before anyone else sees it. The rules are written out on the terms page, and there is a report link on every stack.

How this is paid for

Bead and cord links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you — the affiliate disclosure spells out exactly how. We do not sell finished kandi. Make it, wear it, trade it. Buying a piece because you ran out of time is not a crime; passing off shop kandi as something you made is.

The email

If we have your email, it is for new charts — twice a month, unsubscribe in one click, 18+. The privacy page is the boring version of what that means.

Independent kandi guide. Not a craft kit brand. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any festival, promoter, venue, or artist. Festival names are used only to identify the events discussed.
