Even the most durable beading needles can bend, putting a crimp in seed bead and other intricate beading projects. A pair of chain-nose and nylon-jaw pliers will help extend the life of your beading needles. Grasp the needle at the eye with the chain-nose pliers. Starting below the bend in the needle and gripping firmly, pull the needle through the nylon pliers. Repeat as necessary. With a little manipulation, your needle will be as straight as new.
