Teardrops
This is a drop that has the mandrel going side to side through the narrow top. This tool is user friendly, however it requires a reasonable amount of heat control, so may not be great for a new bead maker. Heather Sellers used this shape as a canvas to create the beautiful Monarch Butterfly!
We created a PDF Tutorial to support you in enjoying your new tool!
