Tip for Stringing Beads

Designer Beadwork: Beaded Crochet DesignsBead Crochet: A Beadwork How-To Book

Here is a great tip if you have ever struggled with stinging tiny seed beads on to crochet thread. Create a line of white glue on the pointer finger of your left hand (right if you are left handed.) Place the end of your thread in the glue and use your thumb to work it in completely. Allow to dry. I hang the end of the thread off a table edge so it won't adhere to anything. When dry, the glue will give the thread a sturdy body that will allow you to easily string your beads. If you still have difficulty or if the end becomes frayed, take scissors and cut the tip on a diagonal. This will create a nice point for you.
