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. Larger sizes are sold loose by the kilo. 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).
