Bracelet making

I didn't know what flair to put this under but I've been seeing over people making bracelets for shows and I've been thinking of getting stuff to make some of my own but I only have perler beads and no alphabet beads to do song titles,does anybody know what kinds of beads I should be getting like pony beads or something else? I'd rather get local if I can. Michaels,Hobby lobby (even though I'm meh about the owners of hobby lobby they're not super expensive with stuff) Joanne's is completely closed so I don't have one of those near me anymore,dollar tree or even target? (I'm not super opposed to Amazon if I have to I'm just trying to save money so I can possibly get merch in August and would like to make some before to wear bracelets to the show)
