Love making your own jewelry? This bag of matte howlite beads is a perfect starter or addition to your supplies. You get 5 strands inside, each about 15.5 inches (38 cm) long. With 8mm beads, you can expect roughly 45 beads per strand, totaling around 240 beads in the whole bag – enough to make about 10 bracelets. The beads are 100% natural howlite (not dyed or treated), cut into a nice round shape, polished smooth, and have a 1.2mm hole for stringing. They even throw in a 10-meter roll of strong, stretchy polyester beading cord. The quality is great – they're consistently round, with hardly any broken ones from drilling. Howlite is known for its calming energy, if you're into that. It's a fantastic, versatile set for crafting necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or other DIY projects. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned jewelry maker, this bag offers great value and quality.
