bead is a petite and commonly round object that has a hole in the center where a string or a specialized yarn can be inserted to join a number of beads together. Beads are commonly used for decorations on handbags, gowns, blouses and other articles of clothing, or strung together to form jewelry. Beads are always used in a group because emphasis is best achieved when a bundle of colorful beads is used to depict a meaning or to accent a feature. Beads are made in every color and from different materials including glass, metal, wood, plastic, and stones. Some organic beads have also been made of grains of corn, beans, seeds, and acorns.

Seed beads are tiny and circular in shape and their dimension is usually about one-eighth inch or three millimeters in diameter. Cut beads which are also called Charlottes have many sides and are a bit different than the usual round beads. Trumpet beads are either cylindrical or conical and commonly made of stained glass. Tile beads which were once made of porcelain are at present usually made from thermoplastics.

Working with beads as a hobby is economical and usually has little tool requirements. Beads may be strung into necklaces and bracelets, sewn on cloth in a pattern, or woven to make an entire clothing such as a belt as they are worn in older generations or in other ethnicities.
