I got this box and ib it was some beads except there's no holes in them so are they marbles and they aren't exactly round so they roll where they want to go not were you want them to roll. Some have a little flat bit probably because they roll away sp much so I thought could they be be something else ? and are they banded state or not please from Lulu and some look lik
e pickled onions

Lulu,
These are most likely soft Onyx balls made in India for sale as made, I see these around the Tucson show all of the time.

All my best .... Danny

It's a little tricky working with round things without holes, but it can be done.

I Googled "how to wrap a marble" and found several videos:

Here's a cute idea if you don't want to work with wire:

If you REALLY want to jump into some serious jewelry-making skills, Joyce found this on Etsy a few years ago:

I fell in love with it, and bought it! (Sorry, Joyce!!! I confess!!!)

I like the beads that look like they are in hand cuffs I don't think I will be doing anything to them for a long time I am not allowed to light matches because My beads caught on fire and I burned ny finger and my mum went mentall and wen my mum saw the wire cutters in the film she gave me a loo km and I can tell that look is NO LULU before she talks and I was right mum said for gods sake you are 8 years old you need all your fingers and both thumbs or do you want people to fasten your pants when you go to the loo and I don't want that my mum said you can't do buttons up if you chop off your thumbs with wire cuter s I don't think someone will chopped both thumbs off do you if you chopped of 1 thumb you would be care full with the last one you still have but I never said that to my mum
