Just thought I'd share :) I know my Michaels store just got these in this past week, while they've had them in FL for a few months, so they SHOULD have them everywhere now.

They're abalone chips, in beige, blue, green, and hot pink. They come in large, medium, and small sizes. They're vase fillers so you can find them around the fake plants or vases section.

I think these have a lot of potential! One of the favorite things I've seen is bras covered in them.

Also if you want to have a bra like the last photo but without all the fuss, Hannah the Virginia Mermaid sells them on her etsy (https://www.etsy.com/listing/186569199/abalone-stone-mermaid-top?ref=related-4). You can also send her a bra that fits you well and she'll add the chips onto it for $25.

Perfect!
I've been looking everywhere for these to integrate them into my shell tops. Hobby Lobby doesn't have any in at the moment, and neither does A.C Moores.
I'm definitely going to Michaels tomorrow and picking up a couple bags -- thanks for the heads up! :)

Been using these for months now. They are great additions for bits of color. :)
