How to use Silky Beads tips?
Recently, new tips specifically for certain glass beads have become available. These metal tips are very practical, but their use can be a little confusing. We decided to test one of them for you: the Silky Beads tips. As you'll see, there's nothing complicated about it. With these tips, we've made a very "working girl" bracelet that will look great with a suit jacket, for example, or a blouse. You can also use them for earrings.
Of course, the use of these glass bead tips may vary from one type of bead to another, but the principle remains the same. You have to imagine that these tips are actually beads.

Cut a piece of fishing line about 1.20 m long. Place a size 10 needle on each end. Thread one of the needles through the tip. Center the tip on the thread. Thread a Silky Bead on one end and 3 Silky Beads on the other, the second in the opposite direction. Pay close attention to the direction of the beads in the photo.
Pass the needle on the side of the solitaire bead through the second bead on the other side and tighten. You should get this.
Continue threading the beads on each side, making sure that the center bead is always upside down in relation to the side beads.
Continue the bracelet until you can almost go around your wrist with it. Cross the wires in the end cap and tighten.
Pull through the hole on the outside of the beads. Your thread will be slightly visible. Thread a 15/0 seed bead, a spacer bead and another 15/0 seed bead between each bead. Do this on both sides. When you reach the other end, cross the wires in the end.
Tie a double knot on each side of the thread, then iron through the beads to hide the thread and cut it off. You can add a touch of glue to the knots to make sure they don't come undone. Connect the clasp and extension chain with open rings. You can glue a bead spacer to the end of the extension chain.
