Bead options for final installation
I needed to find bigger beads than I have been using to make the bead curtain fill the space I am now in.
The beads need to be as close as possible to 6.5mm in size as this is the best size to properly fill the space I occupy. And I need 3 similar colours to represent Holland/Europe, South Africa and New Zealand. Here are my options:
OPTION 1:
They are the perfect size but only have 2 similar colors.

OPTION 2:
This option has many amazing colour selections, and fits across the space perfectly but will be 20cm too short for the wall. There are other options to fill this space such as labeling each string with either the name/date or both in beads or with strings and tags at the end. Is naming/labling them to direct?

There are more colours available as well but in the 6mm range with will work to fill the space across but once again will leave a 20cm gap between the end of the string and the floor

OPTION 3:
Use different kinds of beads to make up for the different colours (as long as they are all the same size: (They are all 6.5mm).

OPTION 4:
This range has amazing colour choices but are 6mm in diameter which means the string will end 20cm above the ground.
