Beading wire, elastic thread and cord.
Beading wire, elastic thread and cord are used to string beads for bracelets, necklaces, anklets and decorations, and choosing the right stringing material affects the strength, flexibility and look of your jewellery. Elastic thread is stretchy and easy to use for bracelets that slip on without clasps, which is ideal for beginners and children. Nylon-coated steel beading wire is strong and suits heavier beads. Waxed cotton and leather cord give a natural, casual look. Silk thread is used for pearls. Check the diameter, material, strength and length before ordering, and make sure it fits through the bead holes. Bead stoppers keep beads from sliding off while working. Knot the ends securely to prevent jewellery from breaking.
