Collection: Bead Stringing Projects

Bead-Stringing Wire is a relatively new invention that replaces the traditional silk cord that was used for stringing beads. This wire has a core of from 3 to 49 incredibly thin strands of stainless steel which are then covered with a plastic coating. For this reason, I have always called this type of wire "Nylon-Covered Wire". It is also known as beading cable. It is a strong, thin, flexible wire that is relatively fray-proof. It is typically combined with crimp beads to create strung bead creations. Learning to work with and finish this wire is an essential part of jewelry-making.
