  • White crackle glass beads are frosted giving them the icy look of a snowball.
  • Sometimes called blizzard glass, snowball crackle or snowstorm glass, they are perfect for winter and holiday designs.
  • The crackle effect is achieved by heating then cooling the bead which produce the crackles that increase light reflection inside the beads.
  • Machine made for consistency of size, shape and color.
  • Delicious crackle glass beads.
  • The Venetian glass makers of the 16th century invented the marvelous process of the 'crackle' heating and cooling technique, creating a multitude of reflective surfaces, so every movement displays sparkling new radiance.
  • The glass is immersed in cold water while it is molten hot, thereby cracking the glass.
  • The glass is then reheated and either molded or hand-blown into the shape the glass blower desires.
  • The reheating and coating of the glass seals the cracks.
  • If you run your fingers over the crackle beads, they feel smooth to the touch.
  • They are bright and lively, in this year's most luscious colors.
  • Approximately 50 beads per strand.
  • The size of the hole is approximately 1mm.
