Process
The process of making fused glass beads is by taking sheets of glass and attaching them or "fusing" them together. Heat from a kiln adheres the glass pieces together. The more heat, the closer together the class becomes. At lower temperatures, the heat can make the glass pieces stick together. At higher temperatures, the glass pieces become completely fused into each other. The beads become one, smooth piece of glass.
