Wood beads, made of a warm and natural material, are a perennial favorite. This ancient form of adornment and prayer has been carved, dyed, cut, drilled and threaded for thousands of years. These provide a natural and organic feel to your beading projects. Wood beads add a warmth to sophisticated materials such as Swarovski Crystal or gemstone beads. They work well with earthy materials such as lava rock or horn beads. Most of our wooden beads have large holes which makes them great for children's projects and for stringing on thicker materials such as pleather, hemp cord and thick twine.
