What size beads would you use?
« on: May 15, 2016, 06:02:47 PM »
I'm working on making some pony wear, and I thought I would make little accessories such as necklaces and such for the ponies. The problem is I've never worked with beads much, and I don't know a ton about sizes. Is cheaper to buy them online in bulk for what I want, but just looking online and seeing things like 8mm ect don't put t in perspective for my brain, and I'm terrible at estimating things. What size if any do you guys use when you make stuff for your ponies?

When working with beads, I prefer to use the 2,6mm diameter ones, since they are about the right size for ponies, but smaller ones would probably work even better(see below):

For these, I used a clasp at the back, but you could just tie the strings together as well. The band I'm using is Rayher, since they have a wide variety of colors and textures.

Hope this helps you!
Have a wonderful day,
Mel

So far I've just used people jewelry for the ponies.  Bracelets=necklaces.  Larger pearls are just right, to me...

If you have some things already in sizes you like for the ponies, measure them and order that size  ? 

Good luck!
