BEAD MAKING


 Hello everyone, how are you all doing?? I hope everyone is good. I have been writing more on inspirational topics for months. Now, I want to bring out the industrial spice of life. Today, I'll like to introduce everyone to bead making.

What is bead making?
Bead making is an ancient craft universally practised among various ethnic groups in Nigeria. Beads are small, round/curved perforated objects which are sometimes painted. They are usually strung to form necklaces or bracelets or even attached to garments to yield a decorative effect. The act of using beads to make earrings, bracelets, bags, necklaces etc is called "bead making".
