"Next we are going to talk about actually stringing your beads onto your wire that you have here with the end of your clasp already done. So what I do it since the turquoise is already on a nylon bead that the manufacturer gives you. You just clip off one end. The reason why I clip off one end, I don't take them all off, you can do that and lay them on there, but it's easier for me because then I can grab like five or six beads, hang on to it and then string my beads through it and you can see this. I have several beads going through and I slide them through. Sometimes the holes are a little bit small so you just drop one, string it through. Here's a bigger one. And once you have doubled up your strings, you can see how it falls right through. And what you do is you just slide that down and that beginning and you just do this until it?s all filled up with turquoise beads."
