Where to Buy Seed Beads
If you purchased one or more of our bead mix recipes and are wondering where to purchase the single color Miyuki beads, below a list that I put together with help from my customers.
You can also always search Google or Etsy. I recommend entering “Miyuki XXXX”(where XXXX is the bead number) in the Google or Etsy search bar. When you find the color you’re looking for, please read the details thoroughly and confirm you are purchasing the correct size for your project, since most of these colors come in multiple sizes. Alternatively, you can search by size. For example, search for “Miyuki 11-XXXX” if you wish to make a mix with size 11/0 beads. Still, always double-check the size before ordering.
On Etsy and other marketplaces, please be sure to carefully read the descriptions and reviews. Some listings may be misleading, especially titles stuffed with keywords.
I suggest avoiding purchasing beads on Amazon. There may be a handful of reliable sellers, but listing descriptions are often misleading. Some items may mention Miyuki, but what you get in the mail says "Made in China." Genuine Miyuki beads are made in Japan.
