plastic beads

Colorful stringing supplies

Plastic beads are small spherical or near-spherical pieces of plastic, used in crafts, jewelry-making, and various industrial applications.

They range from tiny seed beads for embroidery to larger pony beads children string on lanyards.

Plastic beads also appear in contexts like weighted blankets, blasting media, and—controversially—microbeads in cosmetics that pollute waterways.
