! Remember to allow for the length of your clasp. If you use
spacer beads or mix sizes this chart may not be accurate.
If the size bead you are working with is not on this chart here is
the formula for calculating:
1" = 25.44mm
Measure the bead you are working with. Take the length of your
project and multiply the number of inches by 25.44mm, take that number
and divide by the size of the bead. |
