Tips for beginners: Stringing beads
December 7th, 2009 by Ava ArieAn advantage of using a slightly less flexible wire is stringing smaller beads more quickly.
Instead of picking up beads by hand to string them, try this:
Lay your beads on a cloth to prevent them from rolling around. Hold the wire a few centimeters away from the end and approach the hole of the bead.
Gently push down on the wire so that the bead tilts and starts sliding onto the wire.
Lift your hand up to let the bead slide down to your fingers.
Repeat!
Once there are a few to several beads on the wire, let them slide down beyond your fingers and repeat again.
Hopefully this tip will help you string beads more easily! C:
