INVALUABLE!!!!!❤❤❤❤ I inherited an absolute MENAGERIE of beads!!!! One of those hip tall, 3 draw plastic bins. Yep, CHOCK FULL of seed beads! And every single one DECANTED...all in secondary thingys. So yeah! I was 🤯 til now! THANK YOU! AND I just placed an order with yall! 😁
I know exactly what your talking about! my mom left behind thousands upon thousands of beads. All in different baggies and containers. I can't stand disorganization so I'm on a mission size and color. Then create haha😂
My question is once you find out what size bead you have how do you know how big of a thread can fit in the hole? How do you find out the size of the hole in the seed bead?
Thank- you so much! I have tons of seed beads and other beads that I got many, many years ago, plus ones I got from my sister and wasn’t sure of their size. This will be so helpful! Again, thank-you so much!😁

Aaah. Wonderful. I need to measure bigger beads and I have no idea what size they . How do I measure them with a ruler to determine what size they are ?
Very helpful! I want to add beads to my homemade design but do not know what size to pick up at my local craft store. Sense I have 25ct fabric, I will need the 15/0 bead. Awesome! Thanks!

Thank you for all the info and your time in making these videos! Love the necklace, simple but elegant!! Is there a tutorial, pattern, list of supplies for it?
Great video! Do you sell that nifty chart? I can measure my beads with my sewing guage (although I'm still buying your beaders ruler), but that doesn't help me identify what type of seed beads I have.
What a lovely gift! Beading and jewelry-making can be as fun as it is relaxing and organizing them can also be fun.

I am working on a bracelet the problem is size I was mentioned to use is not the same in my country like I am surposed to use 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads but in my country they have them in sizes like mm and they gave me 2.6mm for the size 15/0 beads size I needed and I am not sure if it is correct can you please give me some advice please and thank you best regards caroline laferla have a brilliant day
I always thought that if you line a seed bead up in a row with the hole facing up (not the way it would be lined up on a thread), if you can fit 11 in an inch, it is an 11/0 seat bead.
Hello there! There is a tool called an Electronic Digital Caliper that is good for measuring beads! potomacbeads.com/electronic-digital-caliper-measurement-tool#attr=1079
Well in that case, beside the size I now need the place they come from AND THE BRAND NAME???? SO in other words people doesn't really matter. You will have to guess. Lol she plugging!

You're always welcome :)
Where can I get that ruler? Would be great to have. ❤
Hi there! Here is a link for that ruler! potomacbeads.com/beader-s-ruler
@@Potomacbeadco Thank you. 💗
How do you measure bugle beads?
Can you tell me if a 12/0 is the same as 2mm?
Yes, they are around 1.9mm
I always thought that if you line a seed bead up in a row with the hole facing up (not the way it would be lined up on a thread), if you can fit 11 in an inch, it is an 11/0 seat bead.
Does this work?
@@vickyrushton1783 , I tested it out before I commented, lol
@@jennifernelson9664 There is too much variability in sizing across brands to use this method.
How do you measure a bicone please
