Details

• Glass padre beads vary slightly in length, shape and swirl pattern within these ranges
• Holes are 1-4mm: the 9mm strands (#1 to #3) take leather and cord, the smaller strands suit wire, thread or elastic
• No two beads have the same swirl

These padre beads are made with two colors of glass twisted together, so each bead has its own marbled stripe. The set mixes 9mm, 7mm and 6mm strands in pink and blue, red, navy, orange, peach, plum, lime and blue. Graduate the sizes in one design or pair them with solid padre beads; designers get nine swirl colorways in one order.
