Use them in loom-woven bracelets or peyote cuffs where the consistent sizing keeps tension even and patterns crisp, or string them as the dominant color in statement necklaces and holiday garland designs where that unbroken red really carries the work.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 08/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.9 mm across with a 0.90 mm (approx.) hole. 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.
