[Nfb-krafters-korner] bracelets & necklaces

Debbie,

I would recommend pony beads since you would like letters or numbers. The 
pony beads come in a wide variety of colors, a few different shapes in 
addition and are opaque meaning solid colors, colors that are transparent 
meaning you can see light through the bead, glow in the dark, metallic, 
pearlized, and maybe some options I've missed. The numbers and letters are 
sort of cube shaped. Both types of beads are similar in size so work well 
together. For stringing them, it depends on your intended use. Satin rattail 
is an elegant material and I can even get necklaces in this with a lobster 
clasp. You can also use stretch cord or even just elastic. You can even use 
crochet yarn if for kids to play with. You can use wire and make a very cute 
bracelet that will fit any wrist because it is adjustable. Monofilament 
similar to fishing line is possible and plastic lacing also is good. Good 
old jute cord even works. If you'd like to write me offlist at 
ncbootman at gmail.com and we can discuss more what you want and the specifics 
of a design. I'll be glad to help you with this project if you like. We can 
even talk by phone if you want.

Greg
