125g Frit Millefiori Glass for Fusing, Mosaic Tiles & Jewelry Decor

Loved them great to use

Really lovely selection and great value, but not for fusing as I've tried many ways and always get stress fractures after cooling which is caused by a mismatch in coe.

These glass Millefiori pieces arrive in a small brown retail box, inside which the beads are held in a small grip seal bag.When you first open them, there is quite a bit of dust in the bag.I emptied them out onto my worktop and took a photo of them just as they came out, so they are very mixed. I then arranged them roughly into colours, and as you can see there is a higher proportion of the white/black pieces. There were also a number of broken pieces, which again I have photographed.I was disappointed to find that there were no holes drilled into them, as I was hoping to make earrings from them. Also, the pieces are very irregular with the surface sloping rather than being flat, which makes it much more difficult to use them. They rather reminded me of pieces of seaside rock !In conclusion, some of the pieces are very pretty, but I certainly wouldn't pay £9.99 for them. I am still unsure how best to use them, and can only think they would be best used as inclusions in resin creations.

I was a disappointed by these beads because they’re very small, have no hole drilled for jewellery making, & are really badly cut so there are no flat edges for stacking.The bag they came in was dirty so had to be transferred out so I could see what I had. Some of the beads were broken & chipped so sharp edged (see photo). The colours are pretty true to the product photos.I had hoped to use these for making earrings but as there are no holes drilled the options are limited & the quality just isn’t there. Perhaps for kids to make bracelets or necklaces but some of the beads are sharp so you’d need to supervise. The bead ends aren’t cut uniformly anyway so you won’t get a nice even bracelet or necklace out of them.Best option for these is probably making a coaster within a resin mould but otherwise I’m not really impressed with their versatility. I might use them as a filler for a clear flower vase to add some colour. Other reviewers may have more suggestions.Ok but only just.

The kit is nice. The pieces look just like the real thing, if they're not already. We're going to create a lovely tree and just need to cut wood to glue the glass pieces on. There's just enough to make one collage, and we were able to use all the pieces. They're not perfect in size, but that's the look we were going for.

Unfortunately, I was not very pleased with these glass "beads". Despite being packed in a zippie bag inside of a box, there were numerous broken beads. Those that were not broken were not flat, but rather angled to a tilt. The angle is so bad that it makes them unusable for most projects. I had planned on using these in jewelry making, but the quality is not even close to being good enough. I believe that these will become part of a mosaic top for an outdoor plant stand. At least I will be able to find some use for them. Since they don't have any holes in them they should be okay for use in this regard. They will just require some fussy setting because of the odd angles. The only reason that I didn't rate them less than three stars is because the images are nice and many of the " beads" have a nice transparency to them. Others have a polished stone look. Despite these redeeming qualities I would not purchase more of these at this time.
