seed beads
Miniature craft beads
Seed beads are tiny glass beads, typically uniform in size and shape, used extensively in beadwork, embroidery, and jewelry making.
They get their name from their resemblance to small seeds.
Seed beads come in a vast range of colors and finishes and are sized by number—the higher the number, the smaller the bead.
