Traditional Czech Seed Beads  -  A bead embroiderer's best friend!

The Czech Republic has long-been known for producing beautiful, high-quality, glass seed beads that are perfect for modern bead embroidery. Czech seed beads have large holes which make it easy to go through them with your thread multiple times. Their circumference is a consistent 2.2mm, but their width varies slightly, which allows you to "choose" your beads and where they go - so your beads lie beautifully where they belong and don't crowd each other.

Czech seed beads are very popular in traditional Native American bead work - a place where perfectly uniform beads would look out of place. 

They're versatile - many a bead weaver delights in these little beauties! 

Want to make a statement? An entire necklace or bracelet made of only Czech seed beads is stunning! 

Finally, Czech seed beads make beautiful fringe and they also work well as spacer beads. 

*Czech 11/0's are a favorite around here and we consider them a staple for any beader.*
