PRECIOSA glass tubes twisted 20mm red

Preciosa twisted glass tubes, 20 mm, red are traditional Czech glass beads characterised by their classic elongated shape. Tubes and cones (also called bugles) are popular for various beading projects, sewn jewellery, home decorations, textile decoration, making beaded animals and figures, and especially for making various Christmas decorations, most often beaded Christmas stars or angels.

For Christmas crafting, you can complement the glass tubes with, for example, pearls in various colours or metallic beads. Take a look at other essentials for making Christmas decorations here. When making jewellery from tubes, you may also find it useful to supplement with our range of seed beads.

Due to the small bore of these beads, we recommend using thin threads such as Fireline or nylon thread for beading. Thin beading needles may also come in handy, as they make it much easier to thread beads onto the stringing material. Hobby wires are often used for making Christmas decorations.
