This box of assorted seed beads with colorful shades in a nifty storage box is made from solid glass. Many shades of the color spectrum are represented in this set including rainbow, opaque, iridescent, translucent, and transparent. The vivid color will not rub off or fade. The beads are smooth and shimmer, which will yield a professional look when you make the final product. The hole surface is seamless and drilled clean. The bead holes are compatible with big eye needles or bead looms. They are also compatible with different stretchy or non-stretching strings or threads, wires, or safety pins. They can also be easily glued or sewed. Compared to beads hanging on a string or mixed bead lots, this secure box with individual compartments for each assorted color is much more organized and easier to work with, especially for pattern designs.
