Mixed shape Czech glass strands are a great way to get mix of beads at a better price! I used 7” of the silver plated chain I had left from a previous project and added a pewter toggle. I then made 10 beaded drops from the mixed strand to create an inexpensive drop beaded bracelet, all under $12.00!
