Rayher Papillon seed beads 3.2 x 6.5 mm – butterfly-shaped glass beads

Rayher Papillon seed beads 3.2 x 6.5 mm – butterfly-shaped glass beads

The Papillon seed beads 3.2 x 6.5 mm from Rayher are butterfly-shaped glass beads you can use to make necklaces, bracelets, earrings or hair accessories. Rayher also calls them farfalle seed beads. Because of the irregular shape, each bead catches and reflects the light slightly differently, which gives jewellery a lively look. Depending on the colour, the beads may also have additional effects. Choose your colour from the options.

The beads come in a tin containing 18 g. How many beads that is depends on the weight of each individual bead. It is therefore best to allow a generous quantity if you want to make longer necklaces or several bracelets in the same colour.

Showing off the shape

The butterfly shape looks best when the beads sit close together. String them without gaps, and thread a short length as a test first to see how the beads lie together and reflect the light. With loose spacing, the distinctive look is lost. Choose thread or wire to suit the hole size of the beads and the weight of the piece of jewellery.

Choosing the right size

At 3.2 × 6.5 mm, these beads are larger and more eye-catching than the Papillon seed beads 2 x 4 mm from the same series. The larger beads suit chunkier necklaces and bracelets, the smaller ones fine details and delicate jewellery.
