I’ve used a lot of tiny items in a work and I don’t want to count them individually. How do I get an accurate count when entering components of that work to get the cost?
If the container was full when you started, you can estimate if you’ve used half, or a quarter, of the total number of beads available in the lot. If it was a previously used container, or you can’t remember if it was full, estimate by beads-per-inch. Very small beads generally have a low per-bead cost, so errors in estimation won’t cause very large errors in final cost. In other words, don’t sweat it. Getting close is good enough.
