How to Use and Where to Buy Seed Beads

Seed beads are a staple component that can be incorporated into a wide variety of craft and jewelry designs. Seed bead is a genetic term that crafters use to refer to any tiny bead ranging in size from under a millimeter to several millimeters. The most common seed bead size is 11/0 and 12/0, but sizes range from 24/0 to 5/0. The greater the number of the bead size, the smaller the bead, please keeps in mind.

Seed beads are always used to make jewelry. They are extremely versatile. In jewelry making, they can be used as spacers between other beads or as the basis for intricate multi-strand necklaces. They used as “filler” between larger beads or to make intricate designs and patterns. To the beginners, they may be very confused by how to use those beads as they are very small. You need to use needles. Decide what you are going to used the beads for first. Sketch a design of the work. If you are planning o using size 11/0 beads, there are about 12 beads per inch. Figure out how many beads you need for your design. Make sure you use a needle the same size as your bead size. Also, you should get some threads, for example, wire, stretchy threads and fishing lines which work well and come in different sizes. Waxing your thread with bees wax will help strengthen your thread. Bees wax will also help with less tangled-up thread. If you spill your seed beads onto the carpet, you can use a spoon to pick them up.
