Discover the new Cylin beads from John Bead in this glow worthy jewelry tutorial with Mark Montano. In this video Mark puts these precision cylindrical beads to the test by creating a bold safety pin choker inspired by the look of an Egyptian collar.

Cylin beads are smooth consistent and beautifully uniform which makes them ideal for loom work peyote stitching and any project where spacing truly matters. Mark walks you through how easily the beads slide onto safety pins how evenly they line up and just how intense the glow in the dark beads really are.

You will also pick up smart design tips including cord sizing pin choices and a simple way to finish the necklace using a Czech glass donut bead for a clean polished look. This project is a great example of how precision beads can make a big visual impact without complicated techniques.

Supplies used in this project include Cylin beads from John Bead including glow in the dark colors, safety pins, cord, Czech glass beads and basic jewelry tools.
