A Manmade Beads

The Third Degree of Beadiness
Introduced Manmade Beads. A Third order bead is when a non-bead object made for non-bead purposes is used for beads. Appropriate small holed objects are sometimes adapted to bead functions. These beads retain their original non-bead bodies, but are imbued with bead spirit. While these objects perform bead functions and purposes with the application of string, they are just as easily returned to their non-bead functions.
  • For a time, such an object has bead spirit applied to it by humans, but it has no bead body
In this category are buttons, those little toy wheels from model cars, safety pins or a drinking straw.
