Beading is a craft that has been found all over the world for centuries. The use of small beads to decorate or embellish an item can be found dating back to over 5000 years ago. Today, beads are used to create intricate, decorative items that are enjoyed by generations. Beading can be used to produce many different things. This kind of arts and crafts is perfect for simply adoring an item of clothing, an accessory such as a bag, a belt or even a hat. Beads are also used prolifically in jewellery making, with beads of all shapes and sizes used to create unique pieces of wearable art.  

Enter the world of beading and you will see that there is a magnificent range of beads and accessories to choose from. To start, beads can be made from many different materials, including bone, wood, glass, semi-precious stones and metal. Plastic beads are also available and are perfect for jewellery making with children. Beads for beading all come in all shapes and sizes, from just a few millimetres to several centimetres long that make the perfect focal bead for any piece of art or jewellery. Beads for beading also come in every colour imaginable, meaning that they can be used for any type of project. No matter what you are creating or embellishing you will be able to find the perfect beads at the arts and crafts stores here.

Commonly, for jewellery making purposes, a selection of beads can be strung together to make a beautiful necklace or bracelet. A large bead can also be used as a pendent. Bead embroidery is a very popular technique that is used to decorate clothing and accessories. Brightly coloured and delicate beads, such as seed beads are used to create exquisite patterns to embellish a plain item.
