Bugle beads are small, tubular beads that are often used in jewelry making and crafting. They come in various sizes and colors, typically made from glass or plastic. Their elongated shape allows them to create unique patterns and textures in designs, making them popular among artisans. These beads can be strung together or sewn onto fabric, adding decorative elements to clothing, accessories, and home decor. Beading techniques such as weaving and embroidery often incorporate bugle beads, enhancing the visual appeal of the finished piece. Their versatility makes them a favorite choice for both beginners and experienced crafters.
