Bead making, how do they make beads?
And where do they get their beads? Like the beads the North American Indians use to sew, worth a mint now adays. Also African beads necklaces from Morroco made of black coral and blue jade.
How did they get red and white beads?
How they are made depends on the materials they were made from. Wood and stone/coral beads are usually hand carved (the good ones at least), but are heading towards manufacturing. Stone beads are gorgeous; some are precision cut and tumbled,then a hole is drilled into them. Glass beads are blown, just like a vase or a glass bowl.
Native Americans got quite a few from trading, some made from horn/hoof/wood. I’m guessing that if you googled ethnic jewelry/beadmaking, you’d get quite a few hits.
