I believe the answer is a no-brainer but I cannot figure it out. I would like to find out how to finish off a multi-strand necklace, particularly when done on thread. When I go to How-To's, it brings up design ideas. I see the picture and the list of materials, but for the life of me, I cannot find instructions to go with it. How do I find what I want?

To finish a multi-strand necklace that's been strung on thread, bead tips or Hot Tips® designer bead tips are a great way to give strung jewelry a clean, finished look. They flow right into the clasp, reflecting the same metal.
Alternately, you can string the ends of thread through French wire (bullion) or a wire protector and finish with a knot. Or you can gather all the strands into a cone and attach all the threads to your clasp with wire and a wrapped loop.
To finish a multi-strand necklace that's been strung on beading wire, Accu-Guard® wire protectors are a great way to give strung
jewelry that professional finish. They protect the stringing material from being worn through by the metal findings.
