Hole-Size & Stringing Guide

Mixed bags can vary in bead size, hole size, and components. A bead's outside size does not tell you its hole size. Measure or gently test each bead's opening; the ranges below are selection starting points, not measured specifications for these mixes or guarantees of fit.

Measured hole diameter Materials to consider Fit check
Under 0.5 mm Fine beading wire or fine beading thread with a slim needle. Check the wire diameter and the threaded needle's widest point. Elastic and cord require individual testing; do not force them.
0.5 mm to under 1 mm Beading wire, thread and needle; fine elastic or fine cord if clearance allows. Choose a diameter below the actual opening, with spare room for extra passes. Test the needle eye with thread loaded.
1 mm to under 2 mm Wire, thread and needle, elastic, or cord selected for the project. Check the actual material thickness, cord tip, and any doubled strands. Plan where knots will sit.
2 mm and above Thicker cord or elastic, or wire and thread as the design requires. Check fit and support for bead weight; a larger opening does not guarantee a suitable material or secure knot.

Use the smallest hole in your chosen beads as the limit. Compare actual diameters in millimeters, not just wire gauge, thread weight, or needle number. Allow clearance for every pass, including a threaded needle or doubled material. Rough edges can abrade thread, elastic, or cord. Test a short sample for smooth passage and strength before stringing the full project; never force a bead.
