What Kind of Jewelry Can Be Created with Alphabet Beads


Alphabet beads and number beads are used together to create fashion jewelry and other fashion crafts in many times. Most of times, they are used to create kids jewelry and crafts. Are they only can be used for that? What kind of jewelry can be created with both jewelry beads? Read the following text, and you will find the answer.
1, For Kids Jewelry
As we said above that both alphabet beads and number beads are widely used in kids’ jewelry making, let’s talk about this aspect first. Children’s skin is very tender so that we need to choose harmless materials. Satin ribbon and some other harmless, soft materials (like cloth) are good choice. For example, sewing a heart shaped pendant with cloth, and padding it with cottons. On the surface of this heart shaped pendant, we can glue some acrylic flower beads, alphabet beads, number beads, acrylic cabochons, wood pendants, cloth flowers and many other little charms or cabochons. Just like the picture as below. You can glue or sew these beads, pendants and charms in any place as you like. If you want to create a special necklace for your kids, you can glue both your name and kids’ name on pendant, and use a heart shaped cabochon to “link” them together, which means you love her or him. You can also add any other her or his favorite things or words on necklace pendants. The last step is sewing satin ribbon on pendant for a necklace.
2, For Friendship Bracelets
Shamballa jewelry is still very hot this year. So, why not use alphabet beads and number beads to create some Shamballa style friendship bracelets for your friends? You can use the alphabet beads to “spell” your friends’ name or birthday on the bracelets.

3, For Beading Crafts
Apart from making kids jewelry and adult, both alphabet beads and number beads can be used to create beading crafts which can be used for both kids and adult, just like beaded key chains. Today, key chain is not only a tool for collecting keys, but also a decorating craft to show your personality. You can use these two kinds of beads to create special name, date or event on the key chain with other jewelry materials. No matter what kind of things you would like to show or share with others, this kind of key chains will be unique, just like you.


Of course, both alphabet beads and number beads can be used on many other things, for example, shoes, handbags, gloves, bookmarks, schoolbags and etc. Just fly your imagination, you can use them to create stunning handmade jewelry.

How to use alphabet beads and number beads to create fashion jewelry for adults? Here I would like to share two ideas which are very suitable for beginners to learn as they are quite easy. The first idea is a satin ribbon necklace with alphabet beads and glass beads. First, choose a satin ribbon you like and cut two pieces. Feel free to cut the ribbon to whatever length you desire or need. Second, layout the glass beads and alphabet beads in desired order, for example, one glass bead with one alphabet bead, or string a short strand of glass beads in different colors and use some alphabet beads of a word (like Mother, Love, etc) to separate each two glass beads in the middle place. Third, cut off a jewelry wire and string all the jewelry beads on the wire by the order as your layout. Then use crimp beads to stop the beads fall off, and make a loop at each end. Fourth, use jump rings to attach the part of beaded necklace to two satin ribbon strands. You can also add some lovely or elegant charms on the satin ribbon strands too. Fifth, the last step is making a lovely bowknot with the satin ribbons. Then, a lovely and elegant satin ribbon necklace with alphabet beads for adult is finished.

First, layout all the jewelry beads as your desired order on your table or other jewelry making tools. Second, cut off a length of jewelry wire, and string all the beads on wire one by one.

There are so many countries are taking part in 2012 London Olympic Games, and each country wants to get good result in this global competition. And their people are expecting good news from their athletes. Do you have favorite athlete in your country? Does she or he is your idol? Or do you have some interested sports? If yes, you can create some jewelry pieces with the name of your idol, favorite athlete or sport by using alphabet beads and some other jewelry beads. I like watching swimming. As a Chinese, I hope our swimming athletes Ye Shiwen and Sun Yang can get good results. So I created two bracelets with their names by alphabet beads and glass beads to cheer for them. Ye Shiwen is a girl, and very young, so I used pink faceted round glass beads and tube alphabet beads to create a bracelet with her name. Of course, there is an alphabet bead “V” after Ye Shiwen’s name, which means she will win in her program. I used blue faceted bicone glass beads and letter beads created a bracelet with Sun Yang’s name. Of course, there is a big “V” bead after his name. I hope both of them can get good results during their competitions. Finally, they repay the motherland with lofty sports morality as well as good competition results. Gold medals are the best proof. They are the pride of China and Chinese.

I also like Michael Phelps who is an outstanding swimming athlete from USA. He has won 19 Gold medals already in his sporting life at present. I also hope he can get good result. My friend Anna like watching swimming and is a big fan of Phelps. She told me that she also created several bracelets with alphabet beads and wood beads to cheer for him. She said:” In order to create some Olympic Games Jewelry, I have purchased some jewelry beads and findings from PandaHall before that event. Alphabet beads are the protagonist in these jewelry projects because I want to add athletes’ names and my country into them. I also created some for my friends to cheer for our athletes and country together.”

Alphabet beads also come in many shapes, the most popular being cube and round. The cube alphabet beads are popular because of their “chunky” shape, which makes them more dimensional and allows for bigger holes. The larger holes pf cube alphabet beads make them perfect for any type of cording ranging from stretch cord, gimp, rubber cording, suede and other types of stringing materials.

Round shapes are adorable as well. While, when using round alphabet beads with small holes, you can use flexible beading wire, stretch cord and other thinner, yet durable materials. Round alphabet beads because of their flat shape are also great for gluing on to surfaces such as paper-for scrap bookers, or adding into mosaics and picture frames.
