Instructions and Helpful Hints
First decide the sequence or pattern of your
beads. Cut the appropriate amount of stringing material
- be sure to add extra length for knotting. To help
keep the beads from falling off the other end as your
are stringing, clip a binder clip on one end, then begin
stringing on the other end.
Make necklaces long enough to slip over your head, once
all the beads are strung, tie the ends together with
double knots.
Bracelets should be strung on elastic cording for one
size fits all.
More Techniques for Beads, Necklaces and Bracelets
If you would like to use clasps on the jewelry
you are making, use flexible
beading wire to string your beads. This type of
stringing material should them bead crimped to close
the ends and attach a clasp. Additional materials you
will need include crimp
beads, clasps, jump rings, and a crimp
tool.
