- What size are these beads?
- Each cube is about 4.5mm wide, long and thick, with a 2mm hole. That is small, so they suit thin cord and elastic rather than chunky stringing.
- How many beads come in a pack?
- They are sold by weight, about 500g, which works out to roughly 5,500 pieces. Counts vary slightly because beads are weighed, not counted.
- Will the letters wear off?
- The letters are spray painted onto the acrylic. With heavy wear or washing, the paint can rub or flake, so keep lettered pieces away from rough use and water where possible.
- What can I string them on?
- The 2mm hole takes elastic cord, thin wire, nylon thread and most beading cords. Stiffer or thicker cord will not pass through.
- Are these good for kids' crafts?
- Yes, the size and bulk count suit kids' bracelet and name projects. The beads are small, so supervise young children who might mouth them.
- Can I choose specific colors or letters?
- No, the beads come as a mixed-color assortment. You get a random spread of letters and colors, so spelling a specific word may need sorting.
