6mm Blue Galaxy Recycled Plastic

Description

The 6mm Blue Galaxy Recycled Plastic Beads have been manufactured in the UK from 100% recycled plastic. The recycled plastic is not dyed, despite their wonderful colours. The carefully selected combination of waste plastic forms their unique marbled and swirling pattern. The Blue Galaxy colourway is created using sweet containers and DVD cases. The over all effect is a bold mid blue shade with subtle swirls of purple, dark and pale blue.

The 6mm Blue Galaxy Recycled Plastic Beads are a barrel shaped measuring 6mm wide, 6mm deep with a hole approximately 1.5mm. The large holes in these beads makes them nice and easy to thread on to cords like our 1mm waxed cotton. They also make great elasticated bracelets using 1mm or 0.7mm stretch magic.

We really love these beads, they’re lovely to work with and make such great use of otherwise discarded plastic waste. They’re perfect if you’re looking for a hard wearing colourful bead range or looking to make your jewellery from more sustainable sources. See the full range of recycled plastic beads here.
