Learn how to make beads: Beading tools

Another beading tool
  • Beading threads
The most common beading threads used in Nigeria are Fishing lines and Tiger tail.
  
Fishing line comes in different sizes starting from 0.2mm, 0.25mm, 0.30mm, 0.35mm, 0.40mm, 0.45mm, 0.50mm, 0.60mm etc

 It is the main type of thread commonly used in stringing beads or knitting beads together (needle works: we will learn this later in our classes)

Tiger tail
 
 Tiger tail wire (also simply called tiger tail or tiger-tail) is a kind of thin wire encased in nylon often used in beaded jewellery, and that is particularly suited to stringing heavy beads and sharp beads, which tend to fray other kinds of thread.

  • CUTTER


Basically used for cutting threads or wires when making jewelries

  • HEAD PINS


Head pins are usually used to put a bead on, with the "head" functioning as a kind of stop so the bead won't just fall.

  • CRIMPING TOOL

Crimping tools may be broadly defined as devices to make connections between two items using 
compressive force to constrict or deform a specially designed connector element
 The crimping pliers have two notches or "stations." The first station, which is farthest from the tip of the pliers, has a dimple in the middle and is used to squeeze

  • BEAD STOPPERS

This is to prevent beads from falling off the end of the strand.

 


  •  TAPE RULE/RULER
 Used for measuring

  • BEAD CAPS
Bead caps are used by many advanced jewelry-making enthusiasts because they can substantially improve the aesthetic appearance of necklaces, bracelets etc
