What Are Pony Beads?
Pony beads are small plastic or glass beads popular with all ages as they are easy to craft. They have large holes in a huge range of colour and shape, making them fun for children who find them easy to thread into simple jewellery.
Adults also love them for their inexpensive variety and versatility. Like many shades of the same colour making sophisticated design - or opaque, transparent or glittering metallic beads to bling your jewellery.
Types of Pony Beads
The most popular are the original round barrels. However, theme shapes are catching up fast. Star, heart, flower, butterfly, or animal and Christmas beads. All with large holes so they can be strung on more materials.
Alphabet beads personalize custom jewellery. Number beads can be used to spell out the year, dates, fund raising, or to make nursery bracelets. Teachers find pony beads fun to educate kids, and schools use them for events or to represent a team.
Other Uses
Pony beads are used on hair too - bright colours at the ends of braids or many shades of the same tint for a cooler look. Other uses are on key chains, scrunchies to hold hair, and sun catchers. Needle crafters sew them onto bags and purses, and some crochet or knit them onto choker necklaces and clothing.
