How To Make A Beaded Necklace With Fishing Line




 As humans, we cannot do without the help of others, we need people in life that will support, assist us. Everyone needs someone to get things done at  every point in life. We need each other to survive that's the reason in bead making, every tool is important because without one, the other won't be able to stand alone.
        In this context, fishing line is as important as every other tool while beading because, with this tool, you are able to string your beads to make any design you desire.
Fishing line can be used when making necklaces, earrings and bracelets to create any design you can think of. It is in different sizes  of 0. 25mm, 0.30mm, 0.35mm, 0.45mm, 0.50mm there is also a stretchy fishing line of 0.5mm, 0.8mm and 1.0mm that you can use in making  a necklace or bracelet that will be easier to wear without attaching your clasp or hook.
  
Beading generally means stringing your beads onto a line, that 'line' is called 'fishing line'. You can get your fishing line alongside other bead materials at any bead stores. How you begin and finish your beaded necklace  depend solely on the size of fishing line you make use of. This will determine the firmness of your design after making it.
I will be stringing some beads onto the fishing line, stringing beads is one of the most basic and easiest beading techniques to make any design.

How To Choose Your Fishing Line 
Lay Out The Beads You Would Work with
If you are working on a smaller beads like seed beads, you should use a fishing line of 0.25mm or  0.30mm. Then,  if the beads are bigger like this


You should make use of a 0.45mm or 0.50mm fishing line and you could as well go for any other beading wire you love. Just to bring out the best on what you do.

Beading Instructions On How To Make A Necklace

Lay out your beads on a flat surface
This will help you to know the type of designs you would make.


 Cut your desired length of fishing line with your wire cutter. I am using 26 inches here.

String the beads on the fishing line, one after the other.


Add a lobster claw clasp or hook
On one end of the bead, string your bead stopper and attach half of the clasp.


And do the same for the other side of the bead.


And pick up your flat nose plier and use it to flatten the bead stopper.
Don't forget to leave some few inches between the bead and the stopper so that the beads will be able to move freely after flattening it.

This is awesome. I hope you can make a beaded necklace now. Hope you find this post helpful.
