question: Finishing off loom work, and other beadweaving projects.

For daisy chains, I string a "clam" end tip before (to the inside of) the
lasp bead, tie a knot around the last bead (sometime glue it), and close the
"clam" around the last bead and the knot. These clams are like two halves
of a ball/bead, with a hole in the "hinge" in between, and with a hook on
the end to close around a clasp.

i love to do loom work and brick stitch, also daisy chain, stringing and
stuff like that, im just never sure how to finish it off and make it look
nice and neat. I can manage earrings because its just a loop of beads, but
what about when you want a braclet or neclace that you can clasp and un
clasp? i know that if youre using wire you can use crimp beads, and its
ok,
but i use thread.

Any ideas?

A good glue, like E-6000 can attach the findings permanently and makes your
work look much neater.

Or HypoCement, which is a million times easier to apply. Never Super Glue,
which will make the thread crack!
