I still don’t understand what size string I will need for an 8mm bead. Can someone please help me?

[@UltraVioleta...]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 of the bead!!

[@nadinemulholland3654]

Hi! I have the #19 in gold, it wants to curl so my necklace isn’t as round as I want. Any advice would help!!

[@estellasirmons562]

Thank you for the information! Do you have a video or can you tell me how to get my 7 strand beading string to straighten out? Has waves from being rolled up on a small spool. Thanks!

[@marinashan4]

Hi..ive been looking into beading wires recently and have found out that 7 strands kinks very easily and is not easy to straighten out..i know that higher strand is costlier but i have went for the 49 stranda as i dont want any bends or kinks..as they say you get what you payfor.

[@smalleypocket]

What kind of wire cutters do you use for tiger tail wires?!

[@OctopusDobyCRoss]

You can use any flush cutters for jewelry but I like the xuron with retaining clip

[@yazminricitos1125]

Anything stiff like for chokers ?

[@OctopusDobyCRoss]

Hi, great question. You would need a solid wire for something like that. The stranded wire will stay flexible.

[@consuelo891]

Tal vez un alambre de acero con memoria.
