There are so many ways to melt frit in beadmaking. Here is a simple method I use for fast, colorful beads. 

Heat the end of a rod of clear and dip it in a bit of opaque. (I've used Silver lake here--yumm!). Melt that in. Then, while the glass is hot, dip it in another color--I love the transparents! 

Melt that in and get it hot in anticipation of wrapping around a mandrel. Wind the glass on and let the clear of the rod that's already warm encase the bead on the final wrap. 

It's simple, one handed, no tools required. A beautiful bead can be made in a minute or two!
