An unusual bead shape with so many possibilities!
A large hole in the center allows placement of
a tiny bead, and two cross-holes allow stringing through the bead, or put in
just one cross-hole, to create a drop style bead! Or just use one cross-hole
and create hoop earrings.
There are 3 sizes to choose from. The outside diameter
will be the limit of the size of the center bead.

Building the main bead with an LFt mandrel is less complicated
and less limiting than building up using a simple mandrel. See the threading
diagram for more detail. It also allows the development of nice rounded
centers, and more design and shaping on the outside bead. The LFt mandrel can
be used as a simple large-hole mandrel as well. Click here
