- What can I string these beads on?
- The 1.6mm hole takes thin cord, beading wire, headpins and most eye pins. Thick leather, chunky chain and macrame cord will not pass through.
- Are the beads identical to each other?
- No. They are handmade and hand painted, so shape, size and enamel color vary slightly from bead to bead. Expect small differences, not a uniform set.
- Are they glass or plastic?
- They are lampwork glass with baked enamel paint. That makes them heavier and more fragile than acrylic beads, so store them so they do not knock together.
- Will the paint wear off?
- The enamel is baked on, so it holds up in normal wear. It can still chip if beads rub against hard objects or are dropped on a hard floor.
- Are they safe for children's crafts?
- These are small glass beads and a choking hazard for young children. Keep them for adult jewelry making and away from kids under three.
- How many beads come in a pack?
- Pack counts vary by seller, so check the quantity on the listing before ordering if you need a specific number for a project.
