  4. This seems like a fun project to do with kids during the summer! Thanks for the chance to win!

  7. I love thier collage sheets – the only problem is that I tend to hoard them instead of using them 😉

  11. Want to learn how to make these so this would be a wonderful way to get started. And I don’t have to explain why I have another charge to my credit card.

    Ha!

  12. I am a single mom so money is extra tight for us. I started selling my jewelry creations about 2 years ago and recently took a leap of faith and invested most of my small savings into building my website.
    This give away project is just what would inspire my daughter to start her own side business. She is paying her way through college and this would be a wonderful cash making project for her! It could also benefit her favorite charity “Children’s Hospital at the University of Kentucky” through some extra donations from her proceeds. I have instilled in her that even though it is tight for us some people have it worse. I always donate 25% of my proceeds as will she.
    Thanks for the chance!

  15. Thanks so much for this opportunity and wonderful prize. Crossing my fingers in hopes that I might win lol

  18. These would be an awesome model of inspiration for the older children in our OSCAR programme as well as a beautiful heirloom for my daughter.
    Thanks for the chance

  25. I am just learning to do jewelry and would love to add these to my meager bead collection. Thanks for letting me enter!

  26. Lovely pendant. I would love to make them myself.Wonderful idea to give away the material to make one.

  36. This looks like a lot of nice potential to me! I can think of so many great projects. Thanks for the contes

  37. Would love this stuff!!! I love making jewelry and anything with resin! Hope to win!

  38. I am 15 yrs old and love all kinds of arts and crafts and want to go into fashion design when I graduate school. I was looking at different sites when I came across yours and was interested from the very beginning. Anyway, my mom gave be a bottlecap necklace this year as a gift and I thought they were so cool that i decided to see how to make them and look at different styles. Thanks so much for your site and the ideas and also the chance to win. I know everyone appreciates it.

Hama BioBeads Review: The Eco-Friendly Fuse Beads You’ll Love

As a long-time crafter, I’ve worked with all kinds of materials, but there’s something about fuse beads that never gets old. The creativity, the colors, the nostalgia—it’s all part of the fun! But let’s be honest, traditional plastic beads aren’t exactly great for the environment. That’s why I was so excited to try Hama BioBeads, an eco-friendly alternative that promises all the fun of classic Hama beads without the plastic guilt. So, do they live up to the hype? Let’s dive in!

What Are Hama BioBeads?

Hama BioBeads are a biodegradable version of the classic Hama fuse beads. Instead of being made from petroleum-based plastic, these beads are crafted from a plant-based, eco-friendly material that naturally decomposes over time. That means less plastic waste while still enjoying the same vibrant colors and creativity that fuse bead lovers expect.

First Impressions: Do They Feel Different?

When I first opened the pack, I was curious—would they feel different from traditional beads? The answer: not really! The beads are slightly smoother to the touch, but they’re just as easy to handle, pick up with tweezers, and place on a pegboard. The colors are just as bright and bold, which was a big relief since I was worried they might look dull or faded.

One of the things I love about these beads is that they’re the same size as regular Hama beads, so they work with all my existing pegboards and accessories. No need to buy new tools or change my crafting process!

How Do They Fuse?

Now, onto the real test—how well do they iron together?

I followed my usual fusing process, using parchment paper and a medium heat setting on my iron. The beads melted together perfectly, just like regular Hama beads. No weird smells, no uneven melting—just smooth, well-bonded designs.

I also noticed that once cooled, the fused beads felt a bit sturdier than traditional plastic beads. That’s a huge plus because sometimes regular beads can feel brittle or break apart too easily.

What Makes Hama BioBeads Special?

? Eco-Friendly & Biodegradable – The biggest selling point! These beads naturally break down over time, reducing environmental impact.
? Non-Toxic & Safe for Kids – Made from natural materials, they’re a safer option for little crafters.
? Same Great Quality – They look, feel, and fuse just like classic Hama beads—no sacrifice in quality!
? Works with Existing Hama Accessories – You don’t need special pegboards or tools; they fit right into your current stash.
? Great for Schools & Eco-Conscious Crafters – If you’re an educator or a parent looking to introduce sustainability to kids in a fun way, these are perfect!

The only potential downside is that since these are a newer product, they may not be as widely available as traditional Hama beads. Some colors also seem to be in and out of stock, so if you see a set you love, I’d suggest grabbing them while you can.

 If you love fuse bead crafting but want a more sustainable option, Hama BioBeads are a fantastic choice. They’re just as fun, colorful, and easy to use as regular Hama beads, but they come with the added bonus of being better for the planet. Whether you’re a hobby crafter, a parent, or a teacher, these beads are a guilt-free way to get creative.

So if you’re looking to make your crafts a little greener, give Hama BioBeads a try!  Check them out here!
