Made in the Czech Republic. These cylindrical bugle beads have been cut to length and twisted, creating ridges in the surface that reflect the light in interesting ways. Due to the manufacturing process, the exact sizing of these beads will vary slightly, so the actual quantities per kilo may also vary. Seed Beads should be kept away from small children (danger of swallowing and/or inhalation). We pack our orders carefully, but due to their fragile nature, some breakage in each polybag is to be expected.
