Ha ha! Blackmail doesn't work when everyone around you knows you're strange because you don't have the common sense to hide it. *lol*

Lauren, hi there! It's great to see you on here. I am very strange. I don't use bead stoppers. Should I tell you how I string? Hmm, should I? Should I? Should I? I really must stop telling people about my weirdnesses. Oh well, I'm forty, and I haven't stopped yet. Anyhow. Here's what I do. I tried bead boards and such, and my designs always got unstrung. It didn't occur to me when I started in the late nineties that there would be such things as bead stoppers. I flew by the seat of my pants in the beginning. Is that the right expression? Well, anyway, what I do is wear a robe or long house dress. I cut my wire, and I lay it on my lap. My hips and not so small stomach hold each side, and I string the center bead first. See, I don't just crimp one side and string all the way from end to end. My designs don't work that way. I don't design a complete piece and then string it; that never works for me. I design as I'm going. So, I string the center bead, and
then I decide what goes next. I string both sides at the same time. That is, I put the design on one side, and then match the other side right away. Then, at the end, I crimp the two sides and put the clasp. The way I design, it would be difficult to string the whole necklace from one side unless I'm stringing just a simple necklace of all the same beads, which happens when someone orders something like that, and they usually have to hold a gun to my head. *grin* I hope that makes sense. They do though have these plastic stoppers you can get to hold your beads. I used to put a knot in my wire when I wanted the beads not to fall, but you don't want to do that because the wire kinks, and even if you have good wire that doesn't, it will still have a curl in it, and your piece might lay funny. Best of luck to you.
Warm regards,
Sahar Husseini

Hi,
Where do you get bead holders to hold your place while you are stringing, so
that beads don't fall off and go everywhere?I try to hold both ends of my
string but now and then, one end has come loose.
Thanks
Lauren
