Simple Stringing

We are going to see about stringing.Stringing is nothing but threading small beads in a string.Stringing material can be Thread, Fireline, Cord,Wire or Ribbons.I am going to show you how to do simple stringing so that no special tools are necessary.

Material Needed:
Any Beads(Crystals/Gemstones)
Fishline/Silamide/Wildfire                                               
Beading Needle
Lobster Clasp
Closed Jumpring

Directions:
Cut 2 pieces of fireline measuring a yard each.Take one piece and string all the beads.In my projects I have used station beads to highlight my Jewelry.I have used approximately 144 Swarovski 4mm bicone crystals.For the station beads I have used the same 4mm beads but different color/shape.Take the other piece of fireline,thread to a needle and pass the fireline through the already strung strand.In one end, you can bring the fireline through the lobster clasp and pass it through few beads and tie a knot and again pass through few more beads and tie a knot.In the other end,pass the fireline through the closed jumpring and few beads,tie a knot and repeat this with few more beads.Trim the excess fireline.
I use 6lb 0.008" fireline.Fireline are available in different colors too.I prefer fireline than wildfire.



Without Clasp:
You can use approximately 250 beads of 4mm and string them through double string and tie a knot.Pass the remaining string through the beads and tie knot.Do it 2 or 3 times to secure it.You can put on  this Jewelry through your head.If you do increase the count of beads you can wrap in double strands around your neck and in that case it is good to add small clasp.This is a simple necklace without using any special tool.

This makes a good birthday gift or a special gift to someone.Most of all Handmade by You.
