E beads, often referred to as "E beads" or "E beads for jewelry making," are small, cylindrical glass beads with a large hole that are commonly used in various crafting projects, particularly in beadwork and jewelry design. They come in a wide range of colors, sizes, and finishes, allowing for creative expression in making necklaces, bracelets, and other decorative items. Their name may derive from their original use in traditional beadwork, where they were often used in embroidery and decorative stitching.

Arguably there were no 'hobbies' in society, although there were tasks that were done for fun (but still produced / not including games). Weaving, beadwork, painting (as a few examples).
