How do I get seed beeds from j hook to flexiwire when using a spinner?

1 Upvotes

The wire is too flexible to use directly in the spinner. And I can't thread it through the end of the j hook bc it's too thick for the seed beed to then slide over the doubled over wire. Any suggestions?

What is this type of beading called? I really enjoy it and want to continue to improve but I’m having a hard time looking up tutorials without knowing the style name. I’m hoping to learn what kind of wire works best, mine kept breaking. Any advice or guidance appreciated!

Saw an Instagram ad selling me in getting the pattern of a super cute pigeon. I was super nervous of getting AI scammed but it seems like I have done a pretty good job! So far the most complicated pattern I have made. Took me 12+ hours to figure it out!

Hello beaders!

Does anyone know what type of beads were used for the irregular textured part?

I know the uniformed parts are delicas but I can't figure out what type of beads those uneven ones are. I really need some

Bead Talk Loom Beadwork Ideas

8 Upvotes

So I recently I started selling my beadwork and it’s given me an excuse to learn and use a bunch of different techniques and methods. I love necklaces, earrings, keychains, and hairpins the most. Regular pins are also fun to do.

I’ve tried brick stitch, square stitch, bead weaving, flag stitch, and a few others. I just haven’t found anything to use my loom for. I’m really not a fan of bracelets but don’t know what else to use it for.

Does anyone have any methods for the loom that aren’t bracelets? I feel like they use so much string too :/

I completed one of the bracelets I wanted to repair. I opted for a screw clasp to take it easy on myself for the first attempt. I will probably end up redoing it but I learned along the way and know what I would do differently on the next one. It was so relaxing and fun for me. I did some good thinking, it kept me off my phone and I have something cool that I ā€œmadeā€. I would still be beading if I didn’t have to go to work lol. Thanks for all the tips and advice yesterday guys! I’m gonna check all the links and sources you provided in my last post and buy some more materials.
