    • Don't bother trying to keep the beads on their original string. There likely won't be space enough for both strings and it'll be harder to work with, so just take them off.

    Set them on your surface and slide out the string so they stay in order. You probably have bead tips on the ends of your necklace — the ones that are attached to your clasps. You can take your pliers and open up the loop on those beads to get them off the clasp and get every piece free. If you have multiple strands you're dealing with, just work on one strand at a time.

    If you unstring all your strands, that's just creating a recipe for disaster. String the beads, working off the spool.

    For strong bead cord, you don't need a needle. It'll slide through the bead holes on its own. Simply slide the beads on the cord one by one, still working off the spool. That way if you need more length, it's hardly a problem.

    Just be careful not to put any tension on the string; even though it's brand new, it could still warp. When you're finished putting the beads back on, take a look at it. Are all the beads in their pattern correct?

    Is it long or short enough? If for some reason you can't work off the spool, get a length of bead cord that's about six inches 15 cm longer than you think you need. Tie a knot at one end and secure it with craft glue. Then you can go about stringing on your beads just remember to start with a bead tip. Once all your beads are on, string on a crimp bead, a bead tip, and a seed bead. Here's where it starts to take know-how: Place the seed bead snugly inside the bead tip and place the crimp bead up against the bead tip.

    Mash the crimp bead against the stringing material with your pliers. To make sure it all stays in place, use a drop of craft glue or nail polish inside the bead tip before closing it over the seed bead.

    Then, slide a bead over the free tail of your bead cord, then clip the string close to the bead so the tail is tucked inside. Alternatively, try a knotting method. If that all sounded like gobbledegook, you can try simply tying a knot in the end of your cord, as close to the bead tip as you can. Then, secure this with craft glue. Cut off the extra cord so the knot can hide in your bead tip.

    Then, you can slide your clasp onto the bead tip hook. Use your pliers to close the hook so the clasp can't slide off. Finish the other end of your necklace. If you're working from a spool, cut the cord free, leaving about two extra inches 5 cm. Hold each end in your hands so the beads settle and the cord lays naturally.

    Repeat the same method on this end as you did with the first clasp. If you're using clam-shell type bead tips, make sure to close them over the seed beads and to use your pliers to close the hook. Work on a non-rolling surface. If you have a bead tray, great — if you don't, work on a towel, large piece of felt, or even foam.

    Keeping the order of beads is pretty important, and you don't want them rolling all over the place. Get your materials together.

    Your beads Clasp A beading needle a fine needle with a large eye Thread, either silk or synthetic A match or lighter for burning off loose ends of synthetic thread Super glue and toothpick if using silk thread Scissors or clippers. This isn't your normal "thread the needle" step. You're actually threading it to thread it. It'll all be clear in a second. Here's how it's done: Take about 10" 25 cm of your thread and separate it into finer strands. Take one of the fine strands and thread that through the needle. Tie a knot so the strand makes a loop that goes through the eye of the needle this loop holds the thread that will be the string of your necklace.
