What exactly is a czech seed bead could someone give me a rundown and its uses, I'm more familiar with the

Question

gemstone and swarvoski beads.

Answer 1

Czech seed beads usually aren't as consistant in shape as Japanese Tohos or Miyuki delicas. They are a lot less expensive too.

I use them as spacers for my gemstone and swarovski beads to protect them from rubbing up agains each other or for a knotted look without having to make knots.

Some people do bead weaving with them... peyote/gourd stitch, brick stitch, loom weaving, etc.

Answer 2

czech seed beads are seed beads make in the Czech Republic, they also make crystals similar to Swarvoski, but less expensive.  Check out Fire Mountain Gems web site.
