Hi, I am very new to beading and have run into a problem. I made a three strand bracelet and put 3 strand spacer bars (8995MB) into it. The back of the spacer bars look so lonely with the little strands of wire. Is there something I can use for that? Thank You.

One idea would be to string small seed beads onto the beading wire where the exposed wire shows. Make sure the seed beads are small enough so your bracelet still lies flat on your wrist. Here's a video on using spacer beads in multi-strand designs for more inspiration.
