These wooden figures are colourful, lightweight pieces for handmade jewellery, charms, decorations, greeting cards, keyrings and DIY projects.

This category includes both classic beads with a stringing hole and cabochon-type beads for gluing. Suitable for children’s projects, seasonal decorations, gifts, and small accessories.

String or glue?

This is the first thing to check — it decides how you’ll be able to use the figure:

What they’re used for

• Bracelets and necklaces. Figures with a hole suit lightweight children’s bracelets, colourful necklaces and themed jewellery. Combine them with wooden beads, elastic or cotton cord.
• Seasonal charms. Small figures look lovely against a red-and-white cord — hearts, clovers, animals and cheerful shapes make a great centrepiece in a child’s charm. Use yarn or a twisted cord as the base.
• Cards and scrapbooking. Flat figures glue onto cards, albums, gift tags, boxes and wrapping — they add colour and a bit of depth without any real weight.
• Holiday decorations. Easter, Christmas and spring motifs work for garlands, wreaths, table decorations, children’s activities and decorating the home or classroom.

What to pair them with

Jewellery needs something to thread onto, decorations need glue, and colour and contrast come from extra beads and paint:
