Jewelry Making Ideas with Number Beads

Number beads are typically used for making personalized jewelry, but they are so much more versatile, and we want to show you just how many projects you can make using them.  There are many different types of these beads available for purchase. Acrylic beads are great for making projects that risk breaking such as necklaces and bracelets for children or key chains and other items that tend to get tossed around.  Another benefit of acrylic numbered beads is that they are inexpensive and lighter than their glass or metal counterparts.

Metal numbered beads are also another popular choice.  They are known for their sturdiness and for their quality. Many different styles exist such as sliders, European, rhinestone and alloy beads. Rhinestone and European beads are especially popular right now when it comes to jewelry making. When using European style beads, there are so many ways to string them.  Use them with caprice or snake chain, leather lace, braided cord and anything else that has a wider diameter, so that the beads stay on snug and fit. You can also use soft wire, thread or cord to make flexible projects which can bend.
