Making a great beading project comes down to having the
right materials, and having the right materials always boils down to
organization. Maybe you found the perfect charm or accent for your piece, but
you have no idea where you put it. The first thing you need to do, is separate
your beads, and organize them according to shape and size. In order to do that,
you need to understand how to size and identify beads.
When you go to pull the piece, you'll be able to tell right
away if it will be the right size or shape for your project, and that is how
you can make your life a lot easier.
Here's how you size out a bead -
1- compare its length to inches,
and you have to have a general understanding of bead sizing. Smallest beads are
2mm, and larger ones are often 25mm.
2- you can use a long strand, preferably
about 15 inches. You can put varying
sized beads next to each other to see if they will work or if you need to
change them out.
Separate the ones that work well together, so that when you
go for a bead of a certain size, you have more to choose from. This is how you
can get attractive projects done in a timely, organized fashion.
