Free Beading Project Ideas: 6 DIY Jewelry Making Ideas Using 2-Hole Carrier Beads

Carrier beads come in a gorgeous rainbow of colors. These 2-hole beads have long been used by peyote stitching beaders. Carrier beads are designed to 'carry' or hold a loop of peyote stitching. This simple bead allows a peyote stitcher to create an elaborate design with ease and skip some of the headaches caused when using long lengths of thread or beading wire. This bead can also be used in a simple bead stringing design. Add a little color to your next jewelry design!
