1. Do not use broken beads!2. Double the thread so it's stronger and has a backup line in case of breaks.3. Use waxed thread or wax the thread yourself.4. Use superglue or frey check on knots to keep them from coming apart.5. Use an actual beading needle.Going back though the beadsGoing back through the fringe is the way I prefer to do my fringe. It leaves no threads hanging and adds more thread the beads will have to cut through to break the line. To the right you can see an example of what I'm describing. To do this kind of fringe you must thread beads on till you have your desired lenth and then go back up though the second to the last bead and all the other beads till you get to the top. Be sure to leave a little bit of room so that the string of beads will move easily instead of being stiff.Tying it offThis is often the easier way to make your own beaded fringe as you only go through the beads once. You will find an illustration of what I'm talking about to the right. Simply bead enough beads to get your desired length and then tie of the end (You have to make the knot big enough that the beads can not go past it) cut the thread and apply superglue or freycheck to the knot. Make sure you don't cut too close to the knot or it will come undone very easily and quickly. Leave a little bit of thread between your knot and where you cut. In my illustration I have two lines of thread although you can do this with just one. I like to use two for eaxtra strength in my beadwork. Coming Soon!Coming Soon!Coming Soon!
