Beads with 2 - 2.5mm Holes

Shop Beads with 2mm - 2.5mm holes, perfect for use with leather cord, cotton cord, hemp twine, etc.. Wholesale pricing, fast shipping from rings-things.com.

These beads all have a large hole (at least 2mm in diameter), and easily fit 1mm and 1.5mm leather cord, cotton cord, hemp cord, etc. They work great for macramé!

  • Beads with a 2.4mm hole work great with 3/32" rivets and eyelets.
  • Most of the beads on this page will also work with 2mm cording, but be aware that natural materials and handmade items vary in size, so you may want a bead with a minimum hole size of 2.5mm to guarantee a fit on 2mm stringing materials.
