Beading Necklaces Made Simple With A Few Easy Steps
There are some potential crafters who shy away from beading necklaces once they see the size and number of beads used to make them, but a necklace project can be easily accomplished with a few simple tips and a few items they probably have around the house. Whether working from one of the many available patterns for beading necklaces that show the color, size and type of beads to be used, or simple free hand designs penciled on a napkin, perhaps the toughest part is getting started.

The first thing needed will be enough beading string for the appropriate length of the necklaces, plus a few extra inches for the beading tips and clasp. Using a towel on a flat surface, line up the beads in the order in which they will appear on the beading necklaces, being careful not to drop them on hard, flat surface where they can roll away. If the string being used is especially thin, a double strand can be used for added strength.
Some crafters will place craft glue on the first couple of inches of the string to make threading the beads easier. On one end, tie a knot either a simple overhand knot or a figure eight knot, trimming of excess thread. Then place a drop of glue on the knot to prevent it from coming undone.
Bead Tips Hold It All Together
Attach a clamshell bead tip to the knotted end by inserting the free end of the string and pulling it tight to the knot. Not so tight that it may break the string, but snug so that there is no extra space. The remainder of the beads can now be strung on the string on which the beading necklaces will be made. Do not forget the spacer beads if they are being used and double check the work every so often to make sure a bead or two was not missed.
When all the beads are on the string, attach the second bead tip, holding it snug with beading pliers while the knot is tied. Use a small drop of glue to keep the knot from unraveling. For beading necklaces the tips will have a spot on which to attach a clasp and once those are on, the necklace is ready to go. If the beads were pulled too tight during assembly the beading necklaces may be stiff and not hang properly, so caution against making them too tight must be exercised.
