In this video, I introduce you to the beads you will be using for this project. They are a specific type of seed bead, called a cylinder bead. The cylinder bead brand you are going to use is called a Delica and is manufactured by the Miyuki company in Japan.

I have also shown you another option: basic round seed beads. These will not work as well, but they are still useable for this project. I'll explain why in the video.

In this blog, I write a little more about basic seed beads and you can see some more examples and find out more about the number sizing that I spoke about:
