Satin Rattail - Red

Satin Rattail - Red adds a rich pop of red to jewelry, beading, costume crafts, and decorative projects from the first strand. The smooth nylon cord can stay visible as part of the finished design, making it especially useful for Valentine’s Day, patriotic, holiday, school-spirit, and other color-driven projects. With 144 yards of 2 mm rattail on the roll, there is plenty of material for creative activities with individuals or larger groups.

Make Red a Feature, Not Just a Stringing Material

Red satin rattail can play a visible role in the finished project. Space beads apart to reveal sections of vibrant red, create knots as decorative accents, or coordinate the cord with similarly colored components for a strong color-focused design.

Different color combinations make the same red cord useful throughout the year. Pink and white can create Valentine-inspired pieces, red with blue and white works for patriotic themes, and green or metallic accents can transform it into festive holiday jewelry and decorations.

Red is also useful for school, camp, club, and team-color projects. Add alphabet beads for names and messages, coordinate it with a second organization color, or use the cord as the recognizable color connecting several different handmade pieces.

The 2 mm nylon rattail works well for compatible beads, as well as costume crafts and decorative hanging applications. A 144-yard roll gives activity leaders enough material to prepare individual project lengths while keeping extra cord available for future sessions.
