Get your supplies ready

Now that you have a basic understanding of how to string beads, you’re ready to get started!

Here’s what you’ll need:* A bead spinner (optional)

• Stringing needle (purchased separately or included in your kit)* Beads of your choice* Scissors* Needle threader (optional)If you don’t already have all of these items on hand, don’t fret! You can purchase them individually or buy a kit containing everything needed.

Select the beads you want.

When you’re ready to string beads, here are some tips on how to select the right ones:

• Select beads that are similar in size. If your goal is a uniform look, it’s best if all of the beads have a similar shape and size. This can be difficult if you wish to use large or small beads as well as graduated sizes (with larger holes toward one end). It may be easier just to use all small-sized beads for this reason.
• Select beads with a hole big enough for the string you plan to use them with. You don’t want your work falling apart due solely because it was difficult getting started! To test whether or not this will happen before committing yourself, try threading one end through the hole; if it doesn’t fit easily without having trouble getting through then try another type instead until one does fit without problems like that happening again later down line when making other designs using those same materials involved using three different types which worked fine together after all–

Cut the string.

Cut the string to a length of about 1 inch. You may need to cut it longer than that if you are using thick, heavy beads, but try not to cut it too short.

You can use any type of string for this project. For example, you could use yarn or embroidery thread. If you choose yarn or embroidery thread as your bead-stringing material, be sure that it is thin enough so that the beads do not slip through it easily.

You can buy string at many craft stores and online retailers like Amazon or eBay. However, if these options don’t work for you then just ask around — chances are someone will have some left over from another project! Even if no one wants to give up their old bits of wool there are plenty of other options available at dollar stores or Walmart – just make sure they aren’t plastic coated!

How can I tell whether my string is straight? If all else fails and this feels like too much work then just go out into nature – find two sticks lying on the ground nearby (they don’t even have necessarily need match). Use one end as a guide while holding onto opposite sides; then simply pull until both ends meet together again (this might take some trial & error).

Add a bead stopper to one end of your string.

A bead stopper is a small piece of jewelry that is used to keep beads from falling off the end of a string. You can find these at any craft store, but they are easy enough to make if you have some time on your hands.

To add a bead stopper to your string:

• Measure out how much thread you will need to make the loop around your finger, then cut it with scissors or sharp knife.
• Tie the loose ends together using a double knot (so there are two loops). Then bring one end over and up through one side of each loop until it meets itself at its starting point; do this twice so there are 2 separate pieces coming out of each side of each loop now!3. Open up both pieces by pulling them apart slightly so they’re no longer twisted together; keep holding onto those pieces for later!44. Now take one piece from step three and place it around where you want your bead stopper on the first side’s bottom edge — this means placing it directly above where the two sides meet up with each other (see pic!).5

Push your beads onto the string.

Once you have chosen a string and the beads you plan to use, it’s time to string them onto the thread. First, select beads that are easy to thread. This can be difficult if you’re new at this and don’t know what shapes or sizes work best together. As with any craft project, once you get more comfortable with it, try out different bead combinations!

Once your beads are selected, start by placing one end of your thread into a needle and then place one piece of jewelry wire through the other end of your needle (this will keep both ends pointing away from each other). Pressing down gently on either side of this wire helps keep everything taut as well as prevents fraying in case any part gets stuck during later steps.

Use a knot-and-loop technique to close your bracelet.

You will be using a knot-and-loop technique to close your bracelet. To start, tie a simple overhand knot at the end of the string and pull it tight. Then double knot the string, and secure it by making a loop with the remaining length of string on top of your original overhand knot. Thread the string back through all of your beads in an alternating pattern (back through one bead then forward through another). As you do so, twist these two strings around each other until they form an X shape between two beads (where there were originally just two holes).

Make sure that you can easily get to this X when it comes time for closure! Then finish with a loop on either side—one that goes around both strands of X’d strings and one that goes straight across them—and add whatever clasp suits your needs best!

Once you know how to do this, you can make all kinds of jewelry

Once you know how to string beads, you can make all kinds of jewelry. Bracelets, necklaces and earrings are the most common type of jewelry that people make with this technique but there are so many other accessories that you can create as well!
