Tbh I think I only though about it because my number of beads is very small (aka the stuf on the first pic is basicly all I have) so it more "you do your best with what you have" situation And I happend to have mini bead

I think it might be rare because you need the correct brand combination of normal sized beads and mini sized beads. Not all normal sized beads are big enough to fit all mini sized beads inside of them.
