Hey guys.


I was bead shopping on the internet recently, and I am not used to that because I normally just go into my local bead shop, see what looks pretty, and buy it. Needless to say, all of the sizing references and lengths of hanks confused the heck out of me. I found this wonderful little reference guide on the Michaels website that I think you guys might find handy.

Here is the link
It provides you with a chart telling you how many beads you get on a 16 inch strand (the standard length beads are sold on) per individual sizes of beads. That way next time you click on "16 inch strand" to purchase your beads, you wont be in the dark about how many pairs of earrings, etc. you can make.

It also gives you the standard lengths for various kinds of necklaces.
