Sequin Sizing
Bead Sizing
Please note that bead sizing is different than sequin sizing, in that the smaller the number, the larger the bead. For example, a 15/0 bead will be smaller than an 8/0 bead.
11/0 is considered the standard-sized seed bead. They are larger than 15/0 beads, and smaller than 8/0 beads.
