Berry beads for jewellery – multiple bead pendants you can make yourself
You can make these pretty looking beads with berry-look in all sizes and hang them on earrings or necklaces. Many turn them into cute Christmas angels taking the berry beads as the angels’ bodies –– others use them as decoration just as they are.
In the following instruction, we use 30 pcs. matte blackstone beads with a diameter of 4mm and transparent nylon thread with a thickness of 0.3mm. All materials are available on Smyks.com. If you want to assemble smaller or larger berry beads, you simply need to take beads with a smaller or larger diameter. Click here to browse our online selection of ready-made berry beads.
