Need help with seed beads

I have been making a lot of jewelry with seed beads. Is this a stretchy cord out there you can use for size 11/0? I have been doing the daisy stitch, and would love to do it on a stretch cord. But so far at are local Wal-mart, I can't find anything small enough....

Thanks

You probably need a .5 thickness. You can find this size at Hobby Lobby, Michaels and probably any other crafting or bead store. I use a brand called Stretch Magic, there are several other brands out there. The size Wal Mart carries is a 1.0 only.

You can also order it online from places like

www.firemountaingems.com
www.sunshinecrafts.com
and find it on Ebay.

good luck,

you might check the Mill Hill Bead website...

I do a lot of work with seed beads and have found theirs much easier to work with... they also carry needles and ect.

Good luck - Jude

I've just started making necklaces and I wonder if anyone can tell me the trick to tying the knot on the finished end of the bead tip, so there isn't slack and some string showing.
Thanks,
Iris
