Fused glass is the process of layering sheets or pieces of glass, sometimes adding frit (crushed glass), and firing it in a kiln until the glass melts together, sometimes doing multiple firings per item with each firing taking more than 12 hours to complete. Each handcrafted Beau Verre Art needle minder is thoughtfully crafted, has strong neodymium magnets, and varies in size from .85 inches up to 2 inches so they work well with all types and sizes of projects. They also make thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gifts for your favorite stitchers or a unique stitching accessory for yourself.
