Czech Glass Seed Bead Hanks

Czech Glass Seed Bead Hanks

Our cross stitch website, Counted Cross Stitch Kits, also sells Czech glass bead hanks ~ which can be used for handcrafted jewelry, finished cross stitch project decoration, and other uses such as home decor ~ we once had a customer virtually clean us out of all of our Champagne colored silver lined seed beads because he was working on a chandelier decoration project (actually stringing thousands of our beads to hang and drape from his hallway chandelier!)

Each seed bead hank you purchase contains 3900 - 4600 beads, 12-14 strands, of size 11/0 silver lined square hole, opaque or transparent rainbow (aurora borealis) Czech glass seed beads. These beads are direct from my factory contact in the Czech Republic located in the centuries old hub of renowned Bohemian glass jewelry and bead making. Many pieces of the world’s most highly prized jewelry and loomed beadwork has been made using beads from this area exclusively.
These seed beads are very uniform, and each bead individually and each hank collectively of the silver lined and transparent seed bead varieties sparkle with the intensity of high quality stained glass. The opaque seed are uniformly colored and quite lovely.
You will definitely be extremely pleased with the quality of these beads and the beadwork, jewelry making and arts and crafts possibilities that they present you with!!!

Our automatic shopping cart discount works very well in your favor. Purchase 10 hanks of beads (they don’t have to be all one color, you can order different colors to suit your needs) but as long as you purchase 10 hanks, with our discount you only pay for 9 and get the 10th hank free! Everyone likes FREE, and this is no different.

Here is a preview of just some of the colors we have available for your jewelry and other craft projects:
