Authentic and warm, wooden beads are a must-have for creative hobbies. Our range offers a vast choice of shapes (round, geometric, cubic), sizes (from 6mm to 30mm) and finishes (raw, varnished, colored) to bring all your projects to life.
Delicate jewelry, pacifier clips, macramé hangers or Scandinavian-style interior decorations - these are just some of the creative ideas you can create with wooden beads. Wood brings that natural, timeless touch that makes all the difference to your creations.
The choice of finish determines the final look and use of your creations. Beads in untreated or natural wood appeal to designers who want to personalize their own beads. This untreated wood provides a perfect base for acrylic paint, Posca markers or simply to maintain that raw look.
Varnished wood beads have a smooth, glossy finish that protects your creations from daily wear and tear. As for painted beads, they instantly add color to your compositions, with a palette ranging from soft pastels to bold, bold colors. Each wood species (jujube, sandalwood) reveals unique nuances, allowing you to play on the contrasts between light and dark woods.
The diameter of your beads determines their use and the visual impact of your creations. Here's our size guide:
For wall macramé or plant hangers, choose large wooden beads (20mm, 25mm or 30mm). The most important criterion is the size of the hole: choose beads with a large hole so you can easily pass through your 3mm or 5mm braided cotton cords, sometimes in double thickness.
Yes, that's the beauty of raw wood! You can personalize them with acrylic paint, gouache or Posca-type markers. If the bead is intended for decorative use, apply a finishing varnish to protect the color. For a child's toy, make sure the paint used is non-toxic and complies with current standards.
Wood is porous, so avoid prolonged contact with water, which could cause the bracelet or necklace to swell or warp.
The possibilities are endless! Here are a few creative ideas:
Wood is water-repellent, so never immerse your beads. Simply clean them with a soft cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm water and no harsh chemicals, then dry them immediately. For raw wood beads, you can occasionally nourish them with a little vegetable oil (coconut or olive) or beeswax to revive their natural shine.
