13/0 Seed Beads Opaque Burnt Red

Opaque Burnt Red recall the deep red of sugar maple leaves just before they fall in autumn. These beads are a very calm and deep color that is sure to add that something special for more conservative pieces. Please keep in mind that the Opaque Burnt Red can appear brown in artificial lighting. If you do not want that affect, please choose a lighter opaque red or a transparent red bead.

Opaque glass does not allow any light to pass through the bead. This gives these beads a solid look while still shiny. Many of our customers refer to this as the "regular" or "plain" beads as they are some of the most commonly found beads in both historical and contemporary indigenous bead art.

Seed beads are a very popular and time-honored option for any bead artist, whether your art is worn on the powwow trail, displayed in a gallery, or adorning a person. They are fairly uniform in shape and size. They can be used in virtually any beaded project, including applique or flat stitch, lane stitch, peyote stitch, loomwork, bead weaving, bead stringing and jewelry making. Since they are so versatile, we recommend using seed beads for beginning beaders, classes, and workshops.
