Hi, I'm a polymer clay artist and I want to use a bead stringing wire for some of my projects. That said, I will use hollow polymer clay beads of around 3cm in diameter and will use the 49-strand. I would like to know : 1) What gauge would be best to use. 2) What size crimp tube to use. Thank you for your time and help.

Thanks I'm been beaning for yeas and never knew this.

I am so tired of making bracelets selling them and the buyers bring the bracelets back to me in the pieces in little beads and a broken wire! I sure hope that you are still attending to this video because I really need your advice. I will pay as much at it cost for a wire that doesn't break. Can you tell me what it is that I need to buy? Please.

So sorry you are having breakage issues! What wire are you currently using? Do you use crimp beads on the wire? We are here to help if we can! Jennifer & Kitty

Thanks that was confusing me a lot, some actually use fishing line though I don't know what test/strength.

Hi Kevin, We have a few projects that use crimp beads. Here are a couple on our blog: Crystal Rainbow Necklace runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-a-rainbow-necklace/ Crystal Illusion Necklace runningwithsisters.com/how-to-bead-a-crystal-illusion-necklace-2/ They both have videos. Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

How would we close off the end. Like would we have to not it?

Great question! We use crimp beads on bead stringing wire to finish the ends. Here's a how-to showing all the steps: runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-a-beaded-necklace/ Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

Thank you so much! I had a question - when I make my necklaces, the beads are sealed tightly at each end with a stopping bead. After hanging the necklace on my displays for 2-3 months, you can see the wire has been ‘pulled’ or loosened and the beads now have space to move and you can clearly see the wire at each end (whereas at the beginning you couldn’t). What could be the fault? Do I need a different wire? Thank you so much!

So sorry you are having trouble with your beads moving. Are you using crimp beads to secure the beads on the wire? We have a project like that here: runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-a-pearl-illusion-necklace/ We use crimp beads and press them onto the wire. Perhaps you could add a dab of GS Hypo Jewelry Glue to each crimp to better secure them. Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

A friend gave me 7 strand wire. What type of beading project would this work best with?

@TheONeilSisters

4 жыл бұрын

You can make any bead stringing project with 7-strand bead stringing wire, but we think it works very nicely for longer necklaces since it is cheaper and less flexible than 19-strand. Hope that helps! J&K

Does the 49 stay straight? I’ve ben using 7 but the wire doesn’t remain straight when using light weight beads.

Great question! Yes the 49-strand hangs better, we think. Try it and let us know how it works for you. Cheers, Jennifer and Kitty

I have a 20 gauge and a 22 gauge wire that is called beading wire. Is this equivalent to any strand wire size?

@TheONeilSisters

Great question Amy. Beading wire is different than bead stringing wire. Beading wire comes in gauges like the 20-gauge and 22 gauge you mentioned. It is bendable and is used for "wire work". The wire we showed in this video is bead stringing wire and it is more like a coated flexible wire. Here's a video we made explaining the different kinds of wire. kzread.info?o=U&video_id=Ob1rJgVNgcM Let us know if you need more help! Jennifer & Kitty

@@dawnabrownturris55 I did some research, 49-strand is 26 lb test and the 7 & 19 strand are 6.6lb (also less flexible; they are a little bit stiffer) you'll virtually never have another broken necklace with Beadalon wire esp the 49

Need some advice.. I'm making a Japamala with 108 tigers eye beads. ( 10 mm beads) . I want a very durable thread because my purpose is to wear it on shoulder where pressure is applied daily when I sit and etc.. so it's gonna be a tough time for the thread and the last thing I want is me collecting 108 beads spread on the floor like a maniac. And I'm new to this whole beading world full of threads and know nothing about them. Yeah , so can you please recommend the most durable and suitable brand , thread and size for the purpose. Lots of love for this video 🤘

Hi Lakmal, That sounds like a lovely project. We think you might want to use FireLine. It is extremely strong beading thread. We use it in this Endless Beaded Necklace Project: runningwithsisters.com/how-to-make-an-endless-beaded-necklace-no-clasp/ It comes in different strengths (based on the weight of what you are using for) and colors. Here's a link to show you what it looks like: amzn.to/3EWSGNz Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

Great question Dawna. All of them are strong. The higher numbers have more strands and that means more flexibility. Hope that helps, J&K
