Beads and sequins – a basic guide
Beads nowadays come in a variety of materials, shapes, sizes and colours. The hole in the bead can be in the centre, top of the bead and even sideways and you can have a small hole or a large hole.
The beads that I use the most on my projects and décor are made from plastic, acrylic/synthetic, metal, wooden and sometimes shell and glass. Other beads that are available are made from stone, bone ceramic, gemstone. The varying materials will affect the colour and shine, weight, strength and durability and should be used for the specific projects.
