Czech Glass Bead Jewelry

 

I found these Czech glass beads at Hobby Lobby the other day.  The interior of the beads are painted, but the glass of the bead is clear and frosted.  When light is cast on it, it appears that they are almost glowing.

Here is what you need:

 

 

 

 

 

  

 EARRINGS: carefully bend the earring wires up and thread the beads on the wire and very carefully bend back down.

NECKLACE: thread the beads onto the wire to whatever length you desire.  Bend the ends and slip on a tube crimp and jump ring.  Slide the end back through the tube crimp and secure it using the needle nose pliers.

 

 

Secure both ends this way.  Make as many strands as you would like.  When you are finished with the strands, attach each Jump ring to the clasp and the other ends to the clasp loop.  Enjoy your new jewelry (especially on a sunny day!)
