How can I keep a flat bead from turning on the head pin when I make earrings? 

Article FAQ Answer Icon

That is such a good question. Sometimes you want a flat bead to face forward, and it just spins. But you can fix that. To keep a flat bead from turning on your head pin, add a drop of GS Hypo Cement® to the stem of the head pin where the center of the bead will lie, then slide the bead on. Clean any excess glue from the piece with alcohol immediately, then let it dry for 24 hours.
