The smallest fire polished beads yet, TRUE2 glass beads are so named because they measure precisely 2mm in length, width, and depth. Similar in size to an 11/0 seed bead, you can substitute these brilliant beauties for regular seed beads in many patterns for a sparkling, textured effect. Like our other Czech fire polished glass beads, TRUE2s are available in a large variety of colors and finishes, beautifully faceted, and polished to perfection.
 
One of my all-time favorite patterns,  Layers of Brilliance , uses these True2 beauties...and the  pattern is FREE  today thru Sunday with any size purchase.
