[Nfb-krafters-korner] Saftey pin beading question

[NCBootman]

Barb,

You can do this. What are you making? Bend the end of your wire so the last 
bead or pin can't come off and if you need that wire, just unbend it. The 
easiest way to tighten wire is a regular old pair of pliers. Start by hand 
twisting the wire enough to hold and then take your pliers and twist till 
it's tight. Twist clockwise is good and then just bend the twist to the 
inside and hide it behind your work. If you need more help, write me 
privately and I can give you my phone number and walk you through it better.

Hi all, I've gotten a safety pin beading kit (now I know why it's better to 
order from Theresa) and am following the instructions okay so far, however, 
they don't give you the little tips and tricks needed to "make life easier" 
lol, so my 1st question is:
1. when threading the pins onto the wire, what have you found to be the best 
method of preventing the pins coming off the other end of wire?
2.  what is the easiest way to twist and hide the ends?
