Mother's Day is nearly here!  Did you know that jewelry is one of the most popular gifts sold for Mother's Day?  Make some beautiful kiln formed jewelry today and don't miss out on either sales or giving the perfect gift. 

Today I’m going to show you how to add the loops to your bead molds to make fused kiln formed glass beads with nichrome loops instead of mandrel holes. This really a relatively easy process and will add a new dimension to your bead making.
