You can design as many as you’d like, but designing and sharing at least 10 will make you super cool in our book!
Will other Lima Beads customers be able to see my Fresh Picks?
While designing your Fresh Picks, you’ll see an option called “Sharing”. If sharing is turned off, others cannot see the Fresh Picks you’ve created :( If you turn sharing on, your great ideas can be shared with the world! :)

How do I remove a bead from one of my Fresh Pick Designs?
Once you have the Fresh Pick design tool open (by clicking on the mentioned above), you can drag items into the small green trash can in the lower left corner. This will instantly remove the item from your Fresh Pick.
How do I rearrange the order of beads in my Fresh Pick Designs?
It’s so easy and fun! From the Fresh Pick design window, click on items and drag them around. When you’re finished and happy with your arrangement, be sure to click “save my arrangement” at the bottom of the Fresh Pick — if you don’t, you’ll lose your changes.
Can I use a bead more than once?
Each bead can only be used once per Fresh Pick, but you can use the same bead in as many different Fresh Picks as you’d like.
What should I name my Fresh Pick Design?
You can name your Fresh Picks whatever you’d like. We like to name our Fresh Picks based on what they make us think of or feel. For example: “Bright Summer Day” or “Stroll in The Woods” — name them whatever you’re feeling while designing them!

What happens when a bead in my Fresh Pick Design goes out of stock?
From the “My Fresh Picks” page, you’ll see a link to “Shop this Pick” for each of your Fresh Pick designs. If you follow that link, you’ll quickly be able to see which items in your Fresh Pick are out of stock. You can either leave the items in the Fresh Pick and wait for them to come back in stock, or you can remove the items and replace them with something else.
What happens with Lima Beads discontinues a bead that is in my Fresh Pick Design?
It doesn’t happen very often, but when Lima Beads discontinues an item, it disappears from our web site completely. These items will stop appearing in your Fresh Pick. When you open the Fresh Pick design tool, this item will be flagged and it will ask you to remove the item.
