- What size stringing material fits these beads?
- The hole is 2mm, so thin cord, beading wire and most standard headpins and eye pins pass through. Thick leather cord or chunky yarn will not fit.
- Are these beads heavy?
- No. They are acrylic, so they are much lighter than glass or metal beads of the same size, which helps in earrings and charms.
- Will the paint wear off?
- The baked-on paint is durable for craft use, but acrylic beads can chip or scuff at the edges with heavy rubbing. Store them so they do not knock against each other.
- What can I make with 20mm star beads?
- They work as focal beads in necklaces and bracelets, and in keychains, bag charms and party favors. Their size suits statement pieces more than delicate designs.
- Are the colors mixed in one lot?
- Yes, the beads come in mixed colors, so a single lot gives you several shades to combine or separate by project.
- Are they safe for children's crafts?
- They are lightweight and easy to thread, which suits supervised kids' projects. The small 2mm hole and star points mean young children should not use them unsupervised.
