How do I string these beads? Let me count the ways: I string these beads with classic beading cord and bead tips, and with easy-to-use beading cable and crimps. Sometimes I long for memory wire and simple loops for fast, fun bracelets, or head & eye pins for ideal earrings and beaded chain. I love to see these beads, with magnifiers and sun-bright light. (Yeah, that wasn't quite as lovely as Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem, but it won't get you in trouble like copying text from CliffNotes! Speaking of which, feel free to copy this jewelry!)
