Once the beads are dry (pierced with a hat pin greased with vaseline) I soak them in a cupful of olive oil that has some oil of roses mixed into it. You can make your own attar of roses but that's another thread..... Use only the best oil of rose. Leave beads in above mix for a day. Drain in sieve, empty into a cotton bag (muslin or hanky etc) and rub hard with the hands. 2 or 3 relays of silk cotton may be necessary to remove all the oil from the holes. They are then ready to wear. I am in the process of making some beads for Christmas presents and have found the above thread very interesting.
