- What size are these beads?
- They are 6/0 seed beads, roughly 4mm in diameter, with a 1.3mm hole. That hole fits most standard stringing materials, including elastic cord and beading thread.
- Are they glass or plastic?
- They are acrylic, not glass. Acrylic is lighter and more forgiving on the wrist, but it lacks the weight and glassy shine of glass seed beads.
- How are the colors organized?
- The set comes in a compartmented box with a separate section for each of the 24 colors, so you don't have to sort them yourself.
- Will the colors fade?
- The beads are made from fade-resistant acrylic, which is meant to hold color in finished accessories and displays. Long-term sun exposure is still the main risk for any acrylic.
- What can I make with 4mm seed beads?
- Friendship bracelets, earrings, bead-woven patterns, garment and bag decoration, and seasonal crafts. The 4mm size is on the larger side, so it suits bold patterns better than fine, tight beadwork.
- Do I need special tools?
- No. The 1.3mm holes take standard beading needles, elastic cord and thread, so ordinary jewelry-making tools are enough.
