What do you folks think about incorporating beads into a design? Or adding letter beads to either Normal patterns (for friendship bracelets) or in a relatively basic design? (besides the square knot/half-hitch/cobra knot) It would be cool if I didn't need an elastic thread in (or on) the bracelet.I haven't seen anyone talk about this recently, so I was wondering if you folks have a technique or tips on how to incorporate beads into a bracelet (e.g. seed beads, letter beads,) I know that you can dab a little bit of Elmer's glue (PVA glue for all my non-American friends out there) onto the tip of the thread to create an Aglet (to make stringing the beads onto the string easier). But that is the extent of my knowledge of how to add beads to a bracelet. What patterns work best for this idea? Let me know. |

My trick for stringing the bead is folding a thin piece of elastic in half and threading it through the bead. Then I use the loop of the elastic to pull the embroidery floss through the bead.
