A Brief Introduction on the Fabulous Wood Beads

It is well known that wood beads have becoming one of the most popular materials used for jewelry making in recent years. But what makes them so popular? Obviously, one reason is that they have lighter weight than beads made by other elements. And of course, apart from this reason, the impressive plasticity of wood beads also counts a lot for their popularity.

When you are choosing beads for jewelry making, which shape is your first choice? The round one, the flat one, the oval one, or any other shapes?

They are such perfect supplies for making jewelry not only for adults but even for kids. And you may also use some colorful wood beads to make some home decoration items, like doorway curtains, chandeliers, wind chimes and so on. Choosing right colors for your crafts totally depends on what you actually want to make. Of course, besides from these, wood beads can be dyed into any color as you like. And since it is easier to dye a wood bead than other beads, the price of wood beads is much cheaper than the others.

Except for their various shapes and rich colors, what exactly can wood beads do for DIY jewelry making? The answer is: almost any jewelry you can think of at this moment: necklace, bracelet, earring, and so on. They can make up a whole piece of jewelry, and they can also work as charms to decorate jewelries made up by other materials. Here go the examples:
