FAQs
Are these beads treated with chemicals?
No, these are natural China berry wood beads and come in their raw, natural state.
Can children use these for school projects?
Yes, they are versatile for school projects, though adult supervision is recommended for younger children due to the small size of the beads.
What is the specific hole diameter?
The beads feature a hole diameter between 2 mm and 3 mm.
Can I use these for outdoor projects?
While they are wood, they are intended for indoor use. If used outdoors, they should be sealed with a weather-resistant varnish.
Are the sizes separated in the packaging?
The beads come as a mixed assortment; users may need to sort them by size before starting a project.
Troubleshooting
Cord is difficult to thread through the bead.
Apply a small piece of masking tape to the end of your cord to create a stiff needle-like tip, or use a needle threader.
Beads appear slightly different in color.
These are natural wood products; if uniform color is required, apply an opaque acrylic paint or wood stain to ensure consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions
