- What size are these beads?
- About 9mm long, 6mm wide and 5mm thick, with a 1mm hole.
- Where is the hole drilled?

- What stringing material fits a 1mm hole?
- Fine beading wire, thin headpins and most sewing or bead threads. Thick cord and many leather thongs will not pass through.
- Are they see-through?

- What can I make with them?
- Drop earrings, pendants, charm strands and fringe. The small size suits delicate pieces rather than chunky ones.
- Are they glass or plastic?
