### Materials and Tools

The guide highlights the importance of choosing the right materials, especially beads and threads. [cite_start]It explains that "mostacillas" or "rocallas" are the main beads used in this technique[cite: 25, 26]. There are three main types:

* **Chinese mostacillas:** These are the most economical and lowest quality. [cite_start]They lack symmetry and can lose color easily[cite: 34].

* [cite_start]**Czech or Preciosa mostacillas:** More accessible and uniform in size than Chinese beads, they provide a more symmetrical finish, though some colors may fade[cite: 37]. [cite_start]The most common size is 2 mm[cite: 38, 101].

[cite_start]It provides advice on combining colors and creating symmetrical or asymmetrical designs[cite: 280, 281, 302].
