Arranging gemstone beads into a jewelry piece isn"t a difficult task. Designing each piece on your own is a lot of fun. Here are a few steps to create a unique piece of bead jewelry.
When you craft jewelry with beads you have lot of options to choose from. If your pocket allows, you can go for gemstone beads but you can also make a beautiful piece with glass beads or seed beads.
Craft your own design before initiating threading.
Arrange the beads you require to match with your selected pattern. If you don"t have beading boards to lay down your pattern use a towel to keep them from rolling away. Make any final changes or adjustment at this stage.
Attach the jewelry clasp at one end of the beading thread. Tie a regular double or triple knot. Put a small dot of glue on the tied knot. Once it has dried, cut off the loose end with a sharp scissors as close to the knot as possible.
Take the needle and slide all the gemstone beads in the predesigned pattern. Once they are all arranged on the thread make sure that all the beads fall against each other and there is no gap in between.
Now to finish it, you need to join the other half of the clasp with the thread. This is the toughest part of making beads jewelry. Expert hands are preferred in performing the job. The thread must be pulled tightly while tying the knot to avoid any gaps. Once it has been properly done, place a small dot of glue to make it hard and cut the excess thread with a scissors or nail clipper.
