Margaret,
The most secure way to fasten a half drilled bead is with a finding
called an "up eye." This looks like a tiny screw with a cup
attached. You insert the screw into the hole, with glue like E6000 or
silicone to hold it. You need to put glue around the cup as well, not
too much or it won't hold. If you can't find such a finding, you can
cut an eye pin to fit, but it won't be as secure. Findings like up
eyes are available at Rio Grande or Rings and Things. Or, if you have
a good local bead store, try there.

Thanks for the information Patti. I'll look around at my local shops, now that
I know what to ask for.
