9 DIY jewelry ideas with wooden beads

Jewelry made with natural materials(vegetable ivory, natural seeds, mother of pearl, shell, horn, wood...) are back on the scene for a few years. If you have not yet succumbed to this trend, you should know that there is still time to take your wooden beads out of the closet.

Just like resin or acrylic beads, wooden stringing beads are not just for kids' crafts. Adults will enjoy using them too. In all shapes and sizes, they are ideal for making beautiful DIY creations.
Sober and easy to wear, they appeal to both men and women. What to consider the creation of pretty unisex jewelry or jewelry for couples!
Moreover, they are less fragile than glass beads, cultured pearls or gemstone beads.

Natural or dyed with different colors, they bring a touch of authenticity to your homemade jewelry. You can even customize them as you wish with a little acrylic paint, glitter, tissue paper...
