Seed Beads

Seed Beads

The seed beads we carry are made in Czechoslovakia. Glass making has been a closely guarded secret there since the 15th century. The formulas used to create colors are proprietary and still kept secret. Czechs know their chemistry and produce permanent, color-fast beads.

Useful information regarding size 11/o, which we currently carry:
Generally seed beads are temporarily strung and bundled in Hanks,
Each Hank consists of 12 Strands of beads,
Each Strand is approximately 20 inches long with about 19 beads/inch.

Peyote stitch = 17 x 13 beads = square inch
