Q.
I make wrap bracelets and I am having trouble tying off my thread so that my knots aren't so visible. Any suggestions? I love your website and I look through my catalog every day! Thank you!

A.
Knot your thread next to a bead with a large hole, secure your knot with an adhesive suitable to your beading material, then tuck your knot into the bead hole before the adhesive is completely dry.

Another option for hiding knots would be to use a bead tip or a crimp cover. A bead tip would be used at the beginning and end of the design and the crimp cover can be used wherever your design is knotted.
