Hello needlewomen!
Today I will tell you:
- Where are beads made?
- How beads are made at the factory.
- Is it possible to make beads at home.
First, let's understand what is a bead? Beads (beads) are small or large decorative items made of glass, ceramics, wood, into which you can thread a fishing line, wire or thread.
Usually the beads have a round or slightly oval shape, but there are also cylindrical beads (in the form of sticks), square or faceted.
Today, markets and shops for creativity are full of numerous varieties of beads. It differs in shape, color, size and, of course, the country of origin.
Where are beads made?
Today, beads are produced in different countries, but the Czech Republic, China and Japan are undoubtedly the leaders in this market. The production material in these countries differs both in quality and price. For example, beads from China are the cheapest.
That is why it is produced so much, but the quality suffers accordingly. Chinese beads are not even, when working with them, size calibration is required.
Such beads are very often used when embroidering concert dresses and costumes, since their unevenness is not so noticeable on such products.
Czech beads are of very high quality, they are produced according to all the rules and technologies, and therefore the cost has been increased. Beads from the Czech Republic are even, with a large color palette, several sizes.
Bead making
Making beads is a rather complicated process that requires knowledge of high technologies in the field of working with glass. Well-known bead manufacturers use in this business the latest equipment with the latest technology.
How is the process of making small glass beads? To begin with, the glass is melted to 1550 degrees, gradually adding various dyes and other additives to it to give the future beads a textured shape. The molten mass of glass is passed through very thin tubes and completely cooled. After that, glass threads are obtained. Fully hardened glass tubes are chopped into small pieces. This is how beads are made.
How to make beads with your own hands?
As already mentioned, the manufacture of beads is a highly technological process that requires certain knowledge. Based on this, we can conclude that it is simply not possible to make beads on your own at home.
But there is one way out of non-traditional work with beads. Almost anyone can melt beads (beads are only made of plastic).
What is it for? Molten beads are very colorful and multi-textured, they make original and creative gizmos and jewelry.
So, as you have learned, making beads is a very complicated process. At home, making it is very dangerous and almost impossible. Shops provide a wide range of beads, so choose and create beauty!!!

P.S. Tell us your ideas: where can I use the leftover beads? There are many Chinese and Czechs left. It’s a pity to throw it away, but there won’t be enough color for a finished necklace or bracelet. Share where you apply the residual beads?
Our world is full of interesting and unusual. Sometimes goodness lurks behind the unknown, and most often it is the supernatural that people associate with evil. People from the most ancient times knew about the existence of the other world, and this knowledge only grows and accumulates over time.
Each of us did various mysterious rituals at least once in our lives, went to sorcerers, or performed various magical rites, read conspiracies.
Of course, the warm relations of family members play a very important role in maintaining goodness and comfort in the house, and we all know that a strong and loving family cannot be shaken. But such household items as a hearth, various amulets, conspiracies help people protect themselves from evil and open the doors to good.
Most often in our homes you can find various amulets - dream catchers, God's eye, horseshoes hanging over the entrance to the house. All this is designed to keep evil out of the door. Conspiracies also help people in this difficult matter. There are conspiracies aimed at certain people, or pronounced for a specific purpose, most often they are conspiracies from diseases, from evil people, or, for example, conspiracies for a betrothed, in the modern magical world there are conspiracies for a quick sale of a house or its acquisition.
Today we will learn how to make another very interesting amulet that will help you protect your house and fill it with warmth - sun catcher.
sun catcher most often hung on the window, but in the summer it can also be placed in the garden. The main condition is that sunlight passes through it. You will be surprised by what you see - hundreds of small rainbows in sunny weather will please the eye.
It is also believed that sun catcher attracts good weather.
We will do molten bead sun catcher. It should be noted that not all beads are suitable for this purpose. Glass beads can only be melted in special furnaces, as the melting point of glass is quite high. We are also interested in beads that can be melted in a conventional oven. These are plastic or plastic beads. In some types of dyed beads, the paint may burn out due to exposure to high temperatures. The "Pony Beads" shown in the photo are best suited for baking.
For work we need:
The baking dish must first be greased with oil. Lay out the beads in one layer.
You can use molds of different sizes, and then combine the resulting "glasses" when assembling the sun catcher.
We place the beads in a preheated oven (200 ° C) for 25 minutes. There may be a slight smell of burnt plastic. The author claims that open windows and an air freshener easily solve this problem.
After the blanks under the sun catcher have cooled, they can be pulled out of the baking dishes. According to the author, this is not at all difficult, since the "glasses" literally jump out of the mold.
