This method goes MUCH FASTER than counting each individual bead (losing count and recounting) as you go.<br /><br />Hope this helps!IsDiharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129251975229390303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553336331517009531.post-64625622893228090922011-11-15T13:41:31.112-05:002011-11-15T13:41:31.112-05:00Love what you've made!

The snowflake pattern I want to make says I need to thread 108 seed beads onto my 20 gauge thread. I worked for two hours last night and ended up with 25 on the thread (and about 100 sprinkled on the couch and floor).
