Hi, this is Julie with Beadaholique.com and I want to show you a new style of Czech glass bead that we just got in. These are called pip beads. They are a single hole bead. A lot of the new Czech glass beads coming out right now are two hole beads These have a single hole. We have them in a variety of bright colors and finishes want to pan the camera over them, you can then go on to our website Beadaholique.com and find out more information about them. We do have a whole range of opaque colors. You can see they're actually really quite cute, quite pretty. They'd be great for bead weaving, bead embroidery stringing projects they measure 5 millimeters at the widest point by 7 millimeters at the longest point and then their little hole will accommodate any type of cord or stringing material up to 1.2 millimeters thick A lot of different options with these. You can see now I've gotten into the transparents really pretty colors. We have some metallic finishes and then just this stunning blue tone and then we have this whole range again which glow. These are the Helio finish that you're seeing here it really just bounces the light.
