Beadwork is the art or craft of attaching beads to one another by stringing them with a sewing needle or beading needle and thread or thin wire, or sewing them to cloth.^[1] Beads come in a variety of materials, shapes and sizes. Beads are used to create jewelry or other articles of personal adornment; they are also used in wall hangings and sculpture and many other artworks.

Beadwork techniques are broadly divided into loom and off-loom weaving, stringing, bead embroidery, bead crochet, bead knitting, and bead tatting.^[2]

Beads, made of durable materials, survive in the archaeological record appearing with the very advent of modern man, Homo sapiens.^[3]

Beads are used for religious purposes, as good luck talismans, for barter, and as curative agents.
