Topics: Using Large-Hole Beads

Q.
Is there any way to make the hole of a moderately sized bead smaller so it will work well on a headpin or Accu-Flex® beading wire?
- Donna
A.
TierraCast BeadAligners are designed to prevent beads with larger holes from sliding and wobbling on standard-size stringing material.

If your bead holes are too small for BeadAligners and too big for your beading wire or headpin, you might try using mini Bead Huggers. These tiny silicone components can be inserted into some larger bead holes for more stability when strung.
