Frequently Asked Questions on Glass Bead Making Kits for Adults

Do you need a kiln for glass bead making?

For the glass bead kits at Caydo, you don’t need a kiln. These kits include cold-work glass canes or rods that form beads through spinning and shaping at room temperature. You’ll get glossy, durable beads without high heat or kilns. This makes it simpler and more accessible for home crafting.

What is the difference between glass beads and crystal beads?

Glass beads are made from melted silica and shaped through spinning or molding, offering smooth finishes and custom colors.

Crystal beads typically refer to leaded glass or Swarovski-style faceted beads that have sharper cuts and more sparkle.

Glass beads give a softer, artisan feel, while crystal beads shine more brightly and refract light intensely.

How many glass beads does it take to make a bracelet?

A standard adult bracelet uses about 20–25 medium-sized glass beads (8–10 mm).

Smaller beads (4–6 mm) might need 30–40 pieces. The count depends on bead size, bracelet length, and design pattern. Always measure on a bead board or string first for best fit.

What is glass bead making called?

The craft of making glass beads by shaping rods or canes through spinning or lampworking is often called lampworking or bead spinning.

Lampworking uses a torch to melt glass, while bead spinning forms beads from pre-cut glass rods at room temperature. Our kits focus on bead spinning techniques.

Are clay beads better than glass beads?

Clay beads and glass beads each offer unique strengths. Clay beads are lightweight, easy to shape, and ideal for beginners or kids.

Glass beads provide greater color depth, sheen, and durability. They’re a bit more advanced to make, but result in professional-looking jewelry that lasts longer. Choose clay for softness and ease, glass for shine and longevity—and use both for varied effects.
