What to make with them
At 1.3–1.4mm, these tiny 16/0s excel in fine loomwork, intricate peyote or brick stitch where a smaller bead scale tightens the design, and as fill or accent beads alongside larger focal elements in bead embroidery.
Note: Due to their extremely small size, these micro beads may not be suitable for all beading projects. We recommend using a beading tray and fine beading needle for best results.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 16/0. These round seed beads are made using Preciosa's tube-cutting and hot-polishing process, which gives them a gently rounded shape and consistent hole size that works beautifully for loom work, off-loom bead weaving, bead embroidery, and general stringing projects. Use them anywhere you need classic Czech rocailles—from intricate peyote and brick stitch to fringe, edging, and multi-strand designs. Not a toy. Not intended for children under 15 years. Seed beads should be kept away from small children due to the risk of swallowing or inhalation.
