Origami Butterfly String: Part 2

Video Transcript

"Cut it in half, about 3 feet long. And I realize that it's probably hard to see this invisible line but that's the whole purpose; to make make your string look like the models are suspended in air. So taking the end of your string, this is the order that we are going to string the end. First a crimp bead, then this is a size 8 seed bead, then your weight bead, and finally, a size 8 seed bead. Taking the end of your string, you are going to string it back through the weight bead, the seed bead and the crimp, leaving this last seed bead in the loop. So string it back through the weight bead and the seed bead and the crimp bead. Pull is down or pull up the loop to the very base and this bottom seed bead will hold this entire thing in place. Take your pliers and crimp that crimp bead flat. The crimp bead serves as a knot that keeps things in place. Take your clipper and clip off the excess line, the excess string. We can continue on the the other side, the other end of the string. And this is the order that I like to string my strings, a crimp bead, a stone chips, 3 stone chips."
