Confetti skull beads
Great fun for those folks that know what to do with them!
Same size as the white mini beads below, with horizontal hole that makes them perfect for
making necklaces or bracelets. Each one is hand finished and painted with colorful flowers, scary big teeth
and doo-dahs. I wouldn't make them for this price! And yes, each bag only has 1 red bead. That's why
they come in a mixed bag of 12 pieces.
Size 1/2" in all directions.
