What can I do with metal Seed beads?
These seed beads can't be used for jewelry in contact with the skin, but there are plenty of other DIYs to make! Use them in a woven brooch, use them to embellish a bag grigri or hang them from a telephone jewel, for example. Pair with gold beads, they'll add character to your creations.
Please note: The edges of these beads can be sharp, so it's best to use a strong wire like Fireline and avoid over-pulling or rubbing the wires near the bead hole.
