These unique beaded beads are made of multiple layers of peyote-stitched strips that weave and twist around each other to form a sturdy, self-supporting structure. Like lampworked beads, they offer layers of color and texture. Try stringing Doodle Beads with resin beads and other beads whose smooth matte finish contrasts nicely with the shiny surface of the beaded beads.
