Bead swapper look here... size info

[txgal]

I got to the bead store today and figured out the size of stringing material so you will know what size holes your beads need to have. I am going to use a 1mm waxed cotton cord or the 1mm hemp cording. I am leaning towards the cotton because it seemed easier to work with and I liked the looks of it. So the point of this is your beads should have a hole that will fit 1mm cording. I think that is roughly the size of a toothpick, but the easiest thing is just to test it at the bead store. Here is a link to some waxed cotton cord in case you want to check it out.

Looks good to me! So, do you want us to send you a couple of bucks to pay for it? How do you want us to work that?

I think the $1.00 I am requesting to cover shipping and supplies should work fine. The cording is $ .75 cents a yard at the local bead store, I can't see needing more than @ 5 yards.

Can the beads be any size as long as the hole is suitable for 1mm thread?

Thanks Lydia :love

Yes, beads can be any size, just make sure the hole is big enough. I say the more variety the better.
