2.6mm Mini Bead Box Set — 24 / 48 / 72 / 96 Colors

Fine detail, in a size that lets you build small. 2.6mm mini fuse beads are roughly half the width of standard 5mm beads, so the same pegboard holds about four times the detail — portraits, tiny lettering, game sprites and 3D pieces all become possible.

Each set arrives in stackable storage boxes with the colour number printed above every compartment, so you can pull the shade you need and put it back without hunting. One large sheet of ironing paper is included.

Why makers pick the mini size

Smaller beads mean sharper edges and smoother curves: a circle actually looks like a circle, and lettering stays readable at fingernail size. The trade-off is pace — a mini project takes longer and needs good light. Most makers keep a set of 5mm for quick pieces and a mini set for the detailed ones.

Good to know

Counts are approximate — boxes are filled by weight, so a single shade may run a few beads over or under. Slight shade variation between production batches is normal for fuse beads and is not a defect. See Safety & Materials for more.
