Botanical Beads From Dried Seeds And Beans
13.10.2023 - 05:13 / gardeningknowhow.com / Amy Grant
Human beings have been adorning themselves with botanical jewelry made from seeds for thousands of years, and so can you. Dried bean beads for jewelry are inexpensive and come in an array of colors and patterns, and you can even grow your own. Jewelry made from seeds is a relatively simple project — the only difficulty being drilling a hole through the bean.
Any type of dried bean can be made into bean beads for jewelry. Some of the heirloom varieties have fabulous colors and patterns but even the common black eyed pea or pinto bean look stunning when polished and buffed, encircling the wrist or throat.
Mescal bean beads have been a popular jewelry bead for centuries as well as being used for trading among many Native American people. Today, mescal bean beads can be purchased and they make beautiful jewelry with their deep red coloration.
Whatever type of dried bean beads you choose, prepare your seeds and beads for jewelry making by sorting through them and removing any broken or misshapen beans. Wash the beans if they are dirty and then polish them with a cotton cloth.
