Basically, for needlework, in particular when working with beads, popular masters are plastic beads. This is a unique material for creating jewelry.

Sometimes such beads are also called acrylic. The greatest advantage of acrylic beads before others is a small weight, a variety of color scheme and a color solution.

To date, the technology of the share to such a level, which can be done from plastic, to give any shape, paint into any color, etc.

Plastic beads are well suitable for creating summer jewelry, decorations for clothes and bags. With such beads, it is very easy and pleasant to work.

Natural stones were always in price. By themselves, they look attractive, and from the decorations of them are simply not possible to take eye. Jewelry from natural stones and beads looks expensive and rich.

Probably the second most popular beads after plastic. Wooden beads can be naturally or painted.

Such beads are very often used when creating ethnic or eco jewelry. Well look beads from a tree on a male hand in a bracelet or bandage.

Also, we use beads from wood when creating Slingobus.

Such beads look very bright and effectively in jewelry. They sparkle and overflow in the sun.

Applying such beads in their work, you undoubtedly dilute the product and bring some keenness. Metal beads look great in bracelets and coulons.

P.S. If you know some unusual types of beads, be sure to tell in the comments.

In this article we will talk about beads to create jewelry with their own hands, their main types and methods of application.

Bead is a bulk decorative element having a different shape with a through hole for fastening on a thread. differ in shape, size (from a few millimeters to several centimeters) and by material manufacturing. Beads of various shapes found the wider application in needlework: from the traditional (making decorations) before the design of floristic compositions, embroidery, etc.

Beads are Chinese, Czech, Japanese and American production. As a rule, they differ in manufacturing material, coating resistance and price. The cheapest are Chinese beads, most often they are on sale. Czech beads are more expensive, but also the quality of them is much better. They are also well presented in stores. Japanese and American production beads can be found only in specialized needlework stores.

Material of manufacture

The most inexpensive is plastic (acrylic) beads.

Their biggest plus is an inexpensive price and a small weight. The largest minus is a unstable coating, especially for Chinese opaque beads (for example, imitating pearls or galvanic coating). As a rule, such beads are not used by masters for creating jewelry, since they strongly "reduce the look of the product. However, they can with success can be applied to the manufacture of children's, theater or other stage decorations or suits.

The low weight of beads and a small price in this case is a significant plus, since for embroidery costumes, a huge amount of beads are often required, and the costume will be not very difficult, as well as inexpensive for the price. Frequently used in needlework as an additional decorative element.

Acrylic beads imitate more expensive glass beads, externally, they are very similar. Glass beads are usually used to create jewelry. They look much more "more expensive" of their acrylic copies. They are appreciated for the ability to refract and skip light, thanks to which the decorations are obtained sparkling.

But it costs to remember that glass is a heavy material, so decorations of them weigh a lot. In addition, they are rather fragile, and it is necessary to handle it very carefully.

Types of coatings Beads for jewelry

Modern manufacturers offer acrylic and glass beads with various types of coatings. Transparent beads, without any additional coating, can be made of colored acrylic or glass. - especially having faces - very beautifully refract the light.

Transparent brilliant coating beads have a thin film, reflective light.

Beads S. gasoline or rainbow coating have a characteristic color transfusion on the surface. Very often such beads are labeled "AB" (from Lat. Aurora Borealis - "Northern Light"). The beads with gasoline coating are shimmer in the sun with all the colors of the rainbow.

Unusually look transparent matte beads. They do not refraart the light, so do not sparkle, but outwardly similar to natural stones and look very noble.

Opaque beads also produced several species. There are quite simple, without any additional coating. You can find beads of various colors and shapes on sale.

Opaque beads can also have a brilliant or rainbow (gasoline) coating.

The rainbow coating looks very beautifully on dark shades beads, reminds the northern lights at the night sky or the starry sky.

Separately, I want to mention electroplating (metallized) coating . Beads can be covered in whole or in part. It can be glossy. This coating is extremely bright and greatly shine. Such beads are beautifully looking in New Year's compositions or decorations.

This type of coating can be matte. It is more suitable for jewelry, as it is externally indistinguishable from the metal.

Probably, this is the most popular kind of beads. They are used to create jewelry, trees, topiaries, bouquets, embroidery, etc. Such beads are of a variety of shapes, sizes and colors.

And of course, speaking of glass beads, it is impossible not to mention the famous beads of the Austrian Firm Swarovski (Swarovski). They are distinguished by a resistant coating, an ideal form, as well as unusual colors and textures.

Due to the fact that these beads have an ideal form, of which it is very easy to weave the decorations - they are obtained incredibly beautiful and even. Jewelry with Swarovski beads looks very "expensive", so these beads use the highest level masters.

But the price of such beads is 3-4 times higher than that of similar glass beads of other manufacturers. In addition, many beads in the area of \u200b\u200bthe hole can be seen "influx". Sometimes they have to be removed manually with a nail file. From my own experience I can say that they are not inferior to the willing beads. They have good coating resistance, smooth shapes, excellent transparency, they have a rich color palette. Therefore, such beads are perfectly suitable for creating beautiful jewelry.

And if you do not take specific shades of Bead Swarovski, then Czech beads are comparable to them in quality and appearance. Glass beads can be found in stores, and beads with different effects: "broken glass", air bubbles inside, multicolored, rough, etc.

The next material from which beads make are metal. Despite the material of the manufacture, even large metal beads Very easy. But openwork beads are quite easy to damage, it is necessary to stop or completely break, so it is necessary to work with them quite neatly. But, unfortunately, without a special protective coating (for example, Tsaponlak), metal beads quickly darken from skin contact.

Such beads are more like an additional decorative element in jewelry, and are rarely used independently.

No less popular and . They meet a wide variety of forms, sizes, colors - everything is limited to the natural characteristics of the stone.

But you can split all the stone beads to 2 large categories. The first is processed stones most often, they have a clear geometric shape and a smooth polished surface.

From stone beads most often make decorations and trees weave. For embroidery, they are too heavy. Stones appreciate their naturalness. The decorations with them look exquisitely, so they are very often formed.

It costs that modern technologies make it possible to make practically exact copies of stones from synthetic materials, and a non-specialist is very difficult to distinguish the fake from the original. Therefore, natural stones are better to buy from proven sellers.

In addition to stones, beads are made from other natural components. This is primarily a tree. Wood beads different with ease and durability. They can be applied various patterns and colors.

Such beads are most often used to create ethnic decorations. In addition, they are often powered by beads.

Also in natural natural materials include beads from pearls, shells, pearl or coral.

Basically, they make decorations. The cost of such beads is large (especially from high-quality pearls), but also products with them look gorgeous.

The above it was about the beads of factory production. But there are also unique beads, some - in a single copy. it handmade beads. Of course, such beads are created for decorations. Most often they act as the main decorative element. They are made from a variety of materials and in a variety of techniques. Combining them, you can create incredibly beautiful and bizarre beads. The plus undoubtedly is the ability to create exactly such a bead that is necessary in this decoration. But the price of such beads will be significant.

Several main techniques for the manufacture of such beads can be distinguished. it glass beads in Lampwork technique, lamp (English Lamp - lamp, burner + work - work). They are all sorts of colors, forms, sizes. But such beads will be severe and fragile, besides, there will be no two completely identical beads, as this is handmade.

Polymer clay beads. It is easier to work with this material than with glass, since beads are not so heavy and fragile. But these beads are not transparent. Color, shape, size - all this depends on the fantasy and masters skills.

Wool beads - Very easy, pleasant to the body, immediately feels warm from them.

But they have one significant disadvantage - they are very afraid of moisture and after wetting badly dry. In addition, due to the porosity of the material, they absorb sweat and retain the smell.

Boujin forms

Czech beads are famous not only by the quality of the material, but also a huge variety of forms. In the Czech Republic, many producers of glass beads and they have to constantly amaze the creators of jewelry. Yes, and in the rest of the world, the beads of the forms are a lot.
