This is where the glass gets softened with heat and then it is wound around a metal rod called a mandrel. This happens when a large bubble is blown and then decorations are added and the glass is stretched to form a long tube that gets cut into individual beads.
There is another technique in making jewelry beads which is called, "pressing." With this technique two hot mounds of glass are pressed together around a hole in a mold. This forms the glass bead.
