Beading question – frustration with top-drilled beads – help, please!?
I have an issue with top-drilled beads!
I can think of so many lovely designs where, for example, you string top-drilled teardrop shaped beads in an alternating up and down facing pattern. I’ve seen similar designs in books etc and it always looks really pretty in the photos but how do you get the pesky things to lay in that position when the piece is being worn???
I can see that laying shapes such as triangles that are both big enough and close enough together would work, in the sense that each bead will keep the next one in place. But has anyone got any ideas for designs where the beads may be further spread out, with other beads of different shapes in between?
BeadGal answers:
You could try using 1mm crimps to space the beads out. If you used them between other beads you don’t really see them.
