There are glass cabochons made specifically for jewelry making, for projects like scrabble tile pendants. They are also perfect for this project, though they are more pricey. The benefit is that there are no air bubbles in the glass and they are uniform shapes and sizes. Oh, and there are some really fun shapes too!

What a lovely idea, I have a bag full of clear filler beads that I purchased for a craft project some time ago, but now I can’t remember the project,:):)
Now I found a new way of making use of the filler beads.
Thank you, you are so clever.
Hi Elly!
Thanks so much :) I can’t tell you how many times I’ve discovered some great goodies I have no idea why I bought in the first place, but I don’t let them languish for long once they’ve sparked a new idea! This really is a versatile project – have fun!
