Why shouldn't I buy cheap seed bead mixtures?

Buying Cheap Seed Beads

Buying cheap seed beads may be tempting, but as we've seen, they can lack uniform size and height. There's another reason not to buy these beads. Usually, cheap seed beads are sold in mixtures of many different colors. Seed beads are tiny, and sorting these little bitty beads can be a major drag. It takes time away from your beading projects, and you'll probably never get them all sorted correctly. It makes more sense to spend a little more and buy seed beads by color, rather than in aggravating cheap mixtures.
