Are glass beads fragile?
Light and solid, we tend to think of beads and glass components as fragile. But this is a mistake. Their manufacturing process gives them optimum strength.
Some will be fragile, but that's because of their delicate shape.
So don't hesitate to use them in your DIY projects, whether for bracelets, necklaces or earrings.
How do I care for glass beads?
Glass is an organic material, and is virtually unaffected by the passage of time. Simply wipe clean with a soft cloth soaked in clear water, then dry.
Be careful, however, not to scratch them with highly abrasive products.
