[Nfb-krafters-korner] beading weaving

[River Woman]

Holly, if you are new to beading, you need to begin with basic stringing 
techniques. You will learn how to feel the beads, how to string them, and 
how to attach a clasp and things like this. It takes practice to just do 
these simple things - as they are not so simple when you cannot see what you 
are trying to do. After you master the basics, and learn how to do multiple 
strings, knots, etc, then you can go on to learn other things that interest 
you. One step at a time does it.
