I've made plain large spacer beads out of Heineken and Budweiser beer bottles, and Skyy vodka bottles. I break the pieces with a hammer and use stainless steel chopsticks to carefully melt the pieces together to pull a stringer. Careful as in taking care not to make too many air bubbles.

It's soda lime glass, so I think a single layer of frit would be fine.
