Beading Necklaces For Beginners
Posted on Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 at 11:50 am
What size beads do i need for my necklace?
Im making a pearl necklace.. i would like it to be delicate and simple, so i would like small pearls (beads,not real!)
On the website which I’m buying my supplies from (justbeads.co.uk) They have size 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm..
How small would 4mm be and how big would 10mm be?
Any idea which size i should go for?
And yes..I’m a beginner!
Thanks (o;
There’s no reason not to use real pearls; if you don’t mind irregular shapes they’re quite inexpensive and you can usually get very small ones. Try Fire Mountain Gems and Beads (http://www.firemountaingems.com); their online catalog has true-to-size pictures.
