- What size cord or wire fits these beads?
- The hole is about 1.2mm, so use thin beading wire, fine headpins or cord up to roughly 1mm. Thicker leather or macrame cord will not pass through.
- Are these glass or plastic?
- They are glass. They feel heavier and cooler than acrylic flower beads and have a clear, glossy surface.
- Can I choose the colors I get?
- They come as a mixed-color lot, so the exact shades in each pack vary. Expect a range of transparent tints rather than a set assortment.
- How big are the flowers?
- Each bead is about 13mm wide, 13.5mm long and 6mm thick, close to half an inch across. That makes them a medium accent bead, not a tiny spacer.
- Will they work for earrings?
- Yes. At about 6mm thick they are light enough for dangles, and the flat back sits well against a wire loop. Use fine headpins because of the narrow hole.
- Are they safe for children's crafts?
- They are small glass parts with a narrow hole, so they are not suitable for young children. Keep them for adult or supervised craft use.
