The Redtwo 5100 kit is an entry-level assembly of 6mm Heishi beads made from extruded polymer clay. These beads are pigment-dyed, which prevents the color from bleeding onto skin or clothing during wear. The set is organized in a 24-compartment polypropylene case with reinforced snap-latches, making it easier to keep the 24-color gradient separated during use.
The kit includes a 0.8mm TPU elastic cord. This material is designed for high tensile strength, though it can experience "creep" (slight permanent stretching) if it is pulled too tightly during the assembly process. Pre-stretching the cord before adding beads can help the finished jewelry maintain its shape over time.
- The polymer clay discs have a consistent 1mm thickness, reducing wobble in finished jewelry designs.
- Gold-colored accents are copper-clad or electroplated plastic; avoiding water contact helps maintain their surface finish.
- The high unit count is suitable for various projects, following the 8+ age recommendation for safe handling.
For those interested in a more extensive collection of 25 different styles of charms and shapes, the Gionlion 1200-piece variety kit is a specialized alternative.
