Size 8 Japanese round seed beads offer a terrific balance between versatility and ease of handling, and FusionBeads.com offers a beautiful selection. Beginning bead weavers favor size 8 beads for learning bead weaving stitches because they are easier to see while still being small enough for stability. They can be used with any size beading needle and thread. Size 8 round seed beads also fit easily onto 18 gauge wire and .024" beading wire. Learn all about seed beads in our Seed Bead Q and A.
