Disappointed in Size
These ornaments were tiny. Much smaller than I expected-could be used as large earrings. I think they were very expensive for the size and were 1/3 the size of the ones I got last year that cost much less.

better last year
I bought these last year and they were beautiful. I used them with glass leaves and glass candy canes (no longer available unfortunately) to make very unique Christamas tree ornaments. This year I purchased them again at full price but they were not at all the same. One of only two things I have ever returned to OTC.

Great Picture - Product Doesn't Follow Through
The picture for these on the website is fantastic which made me want to get these very badly. I should have read other reviews before buying them though.
The color on these are okay. The blue comes much MUCH darker than is pictured and the yellow ones are all of a poorer quality than the other three colors. The yellow ones have some clear parts swirled through them which ruins the effect these would otherwise have. Also, many of the ones I received had bubbles in the glass and on the red and yellow ones it's more noticeable.
The holes on these are also not always even, sometimes one side rises higher than the other. Shape of the lights is also not very consistent, some are more squished than others which makes them look more mushroom-like.
These would probably work best on a bracelet for the ones with inconsistent holes. If you're lucky you may be able to make them into cute charms to use in a necklace if you happen to get any with better hole quality.
Even though you do get 24 pieces these are rather pricey for the gamble you take at buying them at full price. If they happen to go on sale I would say they might be worth a try.

melted glass mess
These beads were an unrecognizable, melted mess of colored glass. I just threw them out.

not my best purchase
I really liked these light beads but was disappointed in some of them as I wanted to use them for earrings but a couple were broken and some of the colors were off. Still had enough to make some earrings. i would probably order them again.

Love these beads
I made earrings out of these beads and they look awesome. The holes are small enough that you can put them on a head pin without a loop on the bottom of it, which looks great.
