I wanted to share a few “secrets” with you all. A lot of time with the beadable products, especially the pens and pencils, you might find a really cool bead you want to use, but you find that the hole is much larger then the 2mm shaft, and thus you have this funky wobble and your beads often don’t line up perfectly. From years of experience, I have a few tips to share with you! I use these techniques also when I’m making jewelry, especially pendants and earrings too! Basically, I keep a huge stash of pewter spacers on hand in a variety of styles and sizes. I use the spacers essentially to put under the beads on the shaft, or to put in the top and bottom hole of the larger bead. It just depends on the style of the bead I’m attempting to use. There is a lot of just trial and error, but having a good selection of supplies is really key! Hope you enjoy the video! As always, if you have questions, I love teaching and helping others. So please don’t ever hesitate to contact me!
