How to Use Czech Glass 8/0 Seed Beads?

  • Decorative Embellishment - team 8/0 Czech seed beads with Czech bugle beads if you want to use a similar width bead or to apply sequins.
  • Knot Substitute - string 8/0 Czech seed beads in between larger beads, known as a 'filler' bead, which gives necklace designs a fantastic drape when strung on flex stainless steel wire.
