Can you add beads after knitting?

Beads can be added during the knitting process, but if you are new to the idea or just want to try something different, consider adding them after you have completed your pattern. It is a simple process to sew the beads onto your knitting, and you can complete the project in a short period of time.

Can you use dental floss to string beads?

The dental floss method allows you to string a lot of the beads on the floss and have them at the ready, but it can be a bit slower and fiddly. On the plus side, it is the most gentle way to put the beads on the work. I have never had yarn shred with this method, unlike with a crochet hook or Fleegle beader.

Can you glue seed beads?

If gluing seed beads to a flat surface, is there a spray or glue to put on top to make sure they stay smooth and secure to the object? Using Beadswax® to adhere seed beads to paper or objects gives a strong hold and beads will not pop off after time. Peel and stick adhesive tape and sheets can also be used.

Can you use a crochet hook to knit beads?

Placing beads as you knit uses a crochet hook, and there is no need to thread any beads before you start knitting. When worked this way, the bead is placed directly onto the stitch and secured by the knitting itself. No extra measures for securing the bead are necessary.

How do you make a circle with beads?

Place the sharpie or other round mandrel on top of the bend and shape the wire around it to make a complete circle. Make sure the wires cross to complete the circle. Remove the mandrel. Wrap the tail end of the wire around the wire stem to fill the gap above the smaller bead.

How do you make a bead out of wire?

Fold the wire up over the bead towards the hole at the top of the bead. Leave enough wire at the bottom to fold over the bead and then wrap around the wire on top of the bead to secure it in place. Keep the wire pressed against the bead as you bend the bottom portion of the wire over the top of the bead until the wire is at a right angle.
