There are about 1,000 inexpensive beads per strand, and it's easy to punch a larger hole with any jewelry tool designed for punching holes in metal. Then stack the colors and sizes for use as ornamental rivet accents, or use them on the back of a leather bracelet, to help hold a small rivet securely in place.
