    bead on the right-handside, allowing the strandto create a loop; thethread will cross overinside this one bead.Pull tight.

    2Thread a beadthrough each endand allow them to dropdown to the loop ofbeads. Add a bead to theleft-hand end of themonofilament and threadthe right-hand endthrough this bead in theopposite direction(crossing over inside thebead). Repeat another 16times to create a chain.

    3Add a bead to oneend and threadthrough the first beadyou added, taking carenot to twist the chain ofbeads. Add a beadto the other end,thread through thefirst bead in theopposite direction and

Threadthe end that is pointingdownwards (towardsthe ring) through thenext bead on the originalring. Add two beads tothe end that is pointingupwards. Thread theother end through thelast bead added (so thatthe ends cross overinside the bead).

    FABULOUS FINDINGS

    These findings are essential for creatingjewellery and here are the most commonones you will use

    Crimp Bead/Tube

    By using crimp beads, you can position pearlsor beads, anywhere on the thread. They arealso used for attaching clasps for aprofessional finish. Crimp breads vary in size,dependent on the diameter of the thread orwire. Choose either crimp beads or tubesaccording to your design and always ensureyou use pliers in the appropriate size.

    Lobster-clasp

    Clasps are used to attach the two ends of anecklace or bracelet and come in manydifferent shapes and sizes. A lobster clasp, is ahighly functional but still decorative clasp andis easily applied to every thread. Different claspsizes and a large range of platings ensure thatindividual designs can be finished perfectly.

    Split & Jump Rings

    These are essential linking elements in thecreation of jewellery, and these different sizedand plated components can be used forattaching clasps or as an alternative to them.The only difference is that split rings have twoloops like a key-ring - and therefore offer moresecurity, although jump rings are perfect forattaching pendants.

    French Wire

    Perfect for creating a high-value-lookingfinishing by hiding the end of any thread. Itcomes in different platings to suit any design

    and in varying diameters for many kinds ofstringing materials.
