TOP 20 cheap Miyuki beads

Would you like to try your hand at Miyuki bead weaving? Have you already consulted our data sheet on basic bead weaving equipment? If you want to try Brick Stitch or Peyote weaving, all you need is weaving thread and a weaving needle. For good Miyuki brand materials, you'll need around 5 euros.
You'll then need to add the primers, i.e. the metal parts of your jewelry (e.g. clasps, weaving tips, ear hooks). Take a look at our two videos on how to get started with peyote and brick stitch for inspiration on your first beading project.

Now all you have to do is choose your seed bead colors. But here's the thing: miyuki Delica 11/0 beads (the most commonly used size) come in over 1000 colors and effects! It's hard to choose!
What's more, depending on the effect and color, prices can vary by as much as a factor of two. These costs are directly linked to the cost of producing these colors, as some are more complicated or more expensive to manufacture than others.

When you're trying out a new creative activity, it's perfectly normal not to want to buy a hundred euros' worth of material without knowing whether you'll really enjoy it. Hence your question: where can I buy cheap Miyuki Delicas beads? Look no further, you've come to the right place!

How to choose your Miyuki beads? To give you an idea, you'll need between 5 and 8 grams of beads to make a bracelet (1 gr represents around 175 beads). Then divide this weight by the number of colors you're going to use. This calculation is just to give you an idea of what 1 bag of 8 grams of beads represents. You'll find all these beads at the bottom of the page.
To create a jewel with a pattern, you only need two different colors.
