These 9mm transparent crow beads come in a mix of colors, giving you 100 pieces of clear, glassy glass to work with across a range of hues in one go. The crow (also called roller) shape — wide, disc-like, with a large hole — is a workhorse bead that strings fast and layers well.
The transparent finish means you're seeing straight through the glass, so whatever you string them on — cord, wire, leather — becomes part of the look, and colors shift subtly depending on the light hitting them.

What to make with them
Their large holes make crow beads a natural fit for macramé and knotted cord work, chunky braided bracelets, or fringe on bags and garments where you need a bead that slides easily and sits flat. The mixed color assortment also works well for peyote or strung color-sequence work where you want variety without committing to a single hue.
Description
Crow beads are a staple in Native American jewelry, ceremonial clothing, and many other adornments. Crow beads are larger than many other types of glass beads, they also tend to have larger holes. Modern crow beads are Czech glass beads from Preciosa® known as "rollers". They are far more uniform than older style crow beads, and they come in a huge assortment of colors and finishes, some are even faceted! Aside from our glass crow rollers, you can also find crow beads made out of wood, as well as plastic. Wood crow beads are perfect for adding that natural feel to your designs. Plastic crow beads are better known as pony beads. Large sized seed beads are similar to the old fashioned crow beads, they are less uniform than roller beads, adding to their vintage appeal.
