Choosing the right size Seed beads

             Glass seed beads come in many sizes and from many countries. I have used Czech seed beads and Japanese Miyuki seed beads in many of my projects and like both kinds. I have used as small as 15/0 and as large as 6/0.

              There are some differences to the two kinds I have used. Miyuki Seed beads are more uniform in size and shape and the holes are more even than the Czech Seed beads. The colors available from Czech seed beads are good but Miyuki has some additional color variations that are not available from Czech seed beads.  Miyuki seed beads are more costly than Czech seed beads .
