BEAD STRINGING

About Bead Stringing
There is an
art and skill to stringing beads on cord. First, of course, is the selection
of beads for a design, and the selection of the appropriate
stringing material. Then is the selection of a clasp or closure, appropriate
to the design and use of the piece. This continues with choosing the strategy
for stringing beads with either thread, cable-wire, hybrid cable-thread,
or cord, including choices about knotting, braiding, crimping, using multiple
strands and
a single tie-off,
multiple
strands
with multiple
tie-offs.
