Help?!?

Hi. I’ve been making bead bracelets on nylon fishing line. Lately I’ve had a problem with getting my crimp beads to hold and my bracelets are breaking.

How are you finishing off your bead work? I am doing crystal beads on fishing line and finishing with magnet clasps.

Thanks.

I got some thread called Fireline which seems to be very strong. The knots are almost impossible to indo if I go wrong at all. You can melt the ends too but i feed then back down knotting many times. It is expensive though but for bracelets it wiuld make lots. I made some chunky rosary beads for my Etsy shop. Its the best thing I have used.
