What to make with them
The uniformity of 15/0 Delicas makes them a go-to for intricate peyote and brick stitch work — think detailed cuffs, amulet bags, or mosaic-style loom pieces where every bead needs to sit flush. Their small scale also makes them ideal as a fill or accent bead in bead embroidery, letting the turquoise-and-iris shimmer read as texture rather than a single flat color.
