For reference and to help you in determining sizes & materials for your own projects:
- 4mm only sample: 150 4mm Czech fire polish beads @ 6 beads per row = 4 inches of tubular crochet, which uses 3.5 – 4 yards #10 crochet cotton
- Blue sample: 42 5mm Czech Glass Melon beads + 42 each of 5 different 3mm Czech fire polish beads (252 beads) = 5 ½ inches tubular crochet
- Red Bracelet: 50 5mm Czech Glass Melon beads, 2 rows (100 beads) 4mm Czech Glass fire polish and 3 rows (150 beads) 3mm Czech Glass fire polish = 6 ½ inches tubular crochet (300 beads total)

Multiply the number of beads per row, times the number of inches of tubular crochet you want to get approximately how many inches of strung beads you need.
For example: Six beads per row times 6 inches means you need about 36 inches of strung beads for a 6-inch length of tubular crochet.
Remember that if making bracelets you’ll need more length than usual due to the thickness of the beaded ropes.
