Hearts are one of those shapes that improve almost anything you thread them onto. This pack holds roughly 100 opaque plastic heart beads in a mix of bright colours with a rainbow sheen, so they catch the light and look considerably more expensive than they are. Each bead measures 25 x 15mm, which is chunky enough to make a proper impression, and the 3mm hole is large enough to thread easily with cord, elastic, leather lace or even thicker yarn.
That generous hole is what makes them such a good choice for children and for anyone who finds tiny beads fiddly. Little hands can thread them without a fight, and adults can get through a necklace or a bag charm without squinting. They suit friendship bracelets, necklaces, keyrings, bag charms, garlands, window decorations, cardmaking and any project that could use a splash of colour and a bit of romance. A pack makes a fair few finished pieces, so they work well for parties, classrooms and family craft afternoons.
The beads are intended for ages 3 and over. They are small parts, so younger children should not have access to them, and supervision is sensible for the youngest users.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many beads are in a pack?
There are approximately 100 beads per pack, weighing about 70g in total. The count is approximate because the pack is sold by weight and volume.
What size are the beads and the holes?
Each heart measures 25 x 15mm, and the threading hole is 3mm. That is wide enough for most cords, elastic, leather lace and thin ribbon.
Are they suitable for children?
Yes, from age 3 and over. The large hole makes them easy to thread, which suits young crafters. They are small parts, so please keep them away from children under 3 and supervise younger users.
What colours are in the mix?
The pack contains a mix of brightly coloured opaque beads with a rainbow sheen. As it is a mixed assortment, you cannot choose the exact colours, but the variety makes it easy to put together a lively colour scheme.
What can I make with them?
Necklaces, bracelets, keyrings, bag charms, garlands, suncatchers and decorations all work well, and the beads can also be glued onto cards and other paper crafts. They are particularly popular for Valentine's Day, party favours and children's craft sessions.
What should I thread them onto?
Elastic cord is the easiest option for bracelets, and cotton or leather cord works well for necklaces and keyrings. Because the hole is 3mm, you can use thicker cords than you could with standard seed beads.
