Lava Beads 8mm Black Hole 2.5mm

Lava Beads 8mm Black Hole 2.5mm – Large-Hole Lava Stone Strand (51 Beads)

These 8mm black lava beads feature an extra-large 2.5mm hole, making them the right choice when standard 1mm holes are too small for your project. Each strand contains 51 genuine volcanic lava stone beads designed for macramé, thick leather cord, multi-strand threading, and any design that calls for heavier stringing material.

What Can You Make?

The large 2.5mm hole opens up design possibilities that standard lava beads cannot. Use them for knotted macramé bracelets and necklaces, leather wrap bracelets, surf-style jewellery on thick cord, and multi-strand designs where you need to pass wire through the bead more than once. They also work well on thicker elastic cord for stretch bracelets with a secure fit.

How to Use with Essential Oils

Apply 2–3 drops of essential oil directly onto the lava beads and allow a few seconds for the oil to absorb. The porous volcanic surface holds scent for 6–8 hours. The larger hole also means you can thread a small cotton wick inside for an even longer-lasting diffusion effect — a technique popular with car diffuser designs.
