Made in the Czech Republic. Bugle beads are long cylindrical tube shaped seed beads. They can be either straight or twisted. Some of these beads are produced with round holes, while others, notably silver lined beads, have square holes. Smaller sizes are temporarily strung on hanks. (usually 12 hanks per half kilo). The quantity of beads per hank will vary depending upon size and also slightly from lot to lot, so actual quantities per kilo may vary. Seed Beads should be kept away from small children (danger of swallowing and/or inhalation).
