VISITOR RATINGS & REVIEWS
Momma Bear¡¦s store is filled with all sorts of adorable objects.
The items included in the window display--accessories, dolls, clothing,
and delicate ornaments-- all sport the latest styles. But this is
not a department store, nor is it a specialty boutique shop. Instead
it specializes in wholesale handicraft materials. All the finely
designed finished works on display here were made entirely from
materials sold in the store: Ribbons, beads, sequins, Chinese knots,
beading material, yarn, etc. Such finished pieces often retail for
thousands of NT dollars, but by doing it yourself, with materials
that cost very little, you can recreate the look of store-bought
pieces. Crystals are the in-thing: A bracelet bought from a store
could cost up to NT$5000; here you can get a bag of around a hundred
pastel beads for less than NT$1000. Free training courses are given,
and if you want to learn how to make bead items, crystal candles,
or cell-phone ornaments, this place should satisfy your do-it-yourself
needs.
