Yep! You sure can! Here's my way (which I learned from someone in a thread a while ago)... Rub the very tip of a mandrel on a glue stick. Then place the CZ on the tip of the mandrel. It should stick pretty well. I do a bunch of these then let them set for a couple of minutes. When you are ready to add the CZ, just heat your bead where you want it to go, grab a mandrel and press the CZ into the bead. The glue will sizzle and smoke as it burns off and the CZ will stick to the glass (if it doesn't, the glass wasn't hot enough). Once the CZ is in place, heat the glass around it to really set it well. You can encase it or not. It's up to you. I don't like to encase them. They are sparklier without the clear over them.
