Tips and Special Notes

  • Stella yarn and seed beads come in a variety of colors so it is quite easy to choose a color that compliments your look.
  • Recommend using Japanese seed beads as they tend to be uniform in size, shape and color and have holes large enought for stringing beads on to the yarn.
