Round glass beads. String rocaille beads onto an elastic cord, beading wire, or thick thread, for example. Make sure that the thickness of the beading needle and the cord or thread matches the size of the opening in the bead. When weaving, for example, you often need to thread two strands of thread through each bead. These small glass beads (also known as seed beads) have a long tradition dating back to historical times. The beads are used not only for many different types of Kumihimo jewelry, but also to adorn costumes for various cultures around the world. The beads are charming additions to simple bracelets and necklaces. They are also suitable for woven and stitched Kumihimo jewelry or edgings.
