Beads
Beads are ideal for making your own wedding stationery. They offer a simple, quick and beautiful solution to creating stunning handmade wedding invitations. Try adding small beads to twisted wire shapes or simple threads and ribbons (a small glue dot will hold the bead in place).
Or try twisting some wire around a pencil and make a coil - add your beads, flatten and attach to your wedding invitation, you just can't go wrong!
Beads are also useful for adding to wedding favours as they brighten up all sorts of objects. Try wrapping wires and beads around candles, attach them to the ribbons and cords of favour bags or threaded onto silk cord they make stunning page markers in your order of service.
To help you with designing your stationery we have told you where the hole is for each bead (it can be frustrating if you want to use a bead and the hole is in the wrong place for your idea!)
Beads with no holes are included in our 'embellishments' category since they offer many different possibilities.
