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.
