Wholesale bugle beads in over 100 size & color combinations.

Bugle beads are small narrow tubes of cut glass, either cylindrical or twisted. Proportionally, they are always longer than they are thick, creating their tubular shape. Bugle Bead sizes vary in length from 1.5mm to 35mm. Though larger (longer) than their Seed Bead cousins, bugle beads belong to the Seed Bead family. As with glass seed beads, they are available in a wide variety of colors, coatings and finishes, providing unlimited options for the creative beading experience. Bugle Beads are used to great effect in bead embroidery, bead weaving, or on beaded fringes for lampshades and clothing. They can also be threaded into items of jewelry (Native Americans create beautiful earrings with them) or glued to fabric for decorative pieces or clothing. Bugle bead production dates back to the 1860s, when their primary use was the embellishment of evening dresses, handbags and other fashion accessories.

Offering Wholesale bugle Beads to the General Craft Market

Crazy Crow Trading Post has been in the wholesale and retail bead business since 1970. With a background in Native American culture as the impetus for the interest, we have catered to a niche market (big, global niche market) that uses these glass, metal, crystal beads primarily for American Indian and mountain man outfits. During this time, we have used larger and larger volumes of beads, directly importing many to meet the demand of the thousands of dealers we supply. From the smallest Pony, French, German or Japanese shell beads, to larger shell, venetian, crow or other necklace beads, to fancy venetian beads, we offer variety in size and color to satisfy a broad demand for beads in the general crafts market.
