Can you use this to make homemade jewelry? Can you put beads on it? Will it be easy to tie? Thanks. I'm using my dad's account and I need to know.

Well, you could definitely put beads on it, it's thin enough, however, it is also quite strong (I hung a large, solid wood welcome sign on my front door with it). So it's less pliable than it looks. I did tie knots in it, but they are visible ... you can't make them really small, at least I couldn't. But I don't have a lot of strength in my hands, so perhaps you would fare better.

You can put beads on it, but I tried knitting it & the knot won't hold tight. It's a rather thick plastic. Hope this helps.

I have to be totally honest, I have never tried that. But I know it can glue a Very fine gemstone to a flat piece of sterling silver and you don't have to worry about it falling off. Even without prongs. I trust the glue. So my guess for the answer to your question is... yes.

I cannot say for sure, I have not tried it on beads. Beads tend to roll around and it is possible to lose several, but may work for tiny beads such as seed beads. I have tried to use it on larger jewels (8-10mm) and they tend to fall off quickly.

I agree with the other answers. I only use it with decorative pieces and it is pretty narrow. I would probably find something that is more meant for what you need.

My daughter is older but found it easier to make bracelets without the loom. A friend showed her how to make them. The loom is not needed and not sturdy. You can make the bracelets just with the floss. The kind of bracelets I recommend for a 7 year old. Look like little good quality rubber bands with a loom seems to be better once they get the hang of it. Youtube videos help. Toys r us had them at Christmas. They are very popular and better. It depends on the child really. I would recommend no on this one.

I will have to ask my granddaughter, she has the necklace we made. Be i've not heard her say anything about it coming apart. It was so cool how this works we really had fun making the paper beads.

I am not sure but it is a strong glue for other things. I think you should try a E6000 glue. Buy the very very small tube so you can see if you like it. This glue works only if you set it and leave alone for at least 24 hours. I would suggest using a toothpick (yes it works very well) so that you can be exact and place it on the link. I am not sure how big or small your links are or if it costume jewelry or not but it is a strong glue nonetheless. Hope this helps you and good luck!!!

I think this resin would be great for such a project. I would lightly glue embellishments, stones, shells with a dab of E600 glue or Mod Podge before pouring resin, things have a way of moving in resin and some items have a tendency to float to the top. There is another resin that is jewelry specific, I think this resin would work fine for your project and recommend it highly above any other brand. This can also be bought in gallon bottles not so much at the craft stores but here on Amazon. if you have big projects, do the math it might save you some just divided the oz. by the price and compare. Best of luck. I think this resin would be great for such a project.

you can if you have a small enough o ring. There is enough play in the bead.

I use these to make bales for my filigree jewelry. It has a graduated side so you can bend things to different sizes. I love using this but what are you going to make with these? It might be a help in wire wrap jewelry making too.

If you use the glue supplied, yes, they will unravel, however if you purchase good old Elmer's glue, it seems to correct this issue. My nieces have been doing this for a few months now and have had only a couple of the beads come undone. Remember, this is a recycling teaching tool NOT a professional jewelry kit.

You can make plastic jewelry, or, using specialized filament you can make blanks from which you can make molds which you can than use to make jewelry. I would google 'making jewelry on 3d printers'.

Its a twist on, but wont come off if pulled on. My daughter has been wearing hers for at least 7 months now and havent had and issues or concerns with choking her. *safety knotted* means that each bead is tied separately, so if it broke you wouldn't have beads everywhere.

To make a bead cusion you would have to shape each wood bead with a turning lathe and then drill each one and then thread them together. It seems like a lot of work to save fifteen dollars. Orin P

Amanda ~ I haven't used it with any jewelry that has glued on stones so can't answer your question. I have a feeling that they would be okay though.

It is a twist on. I have never had an issue with strangulation. That being said the necklace is quite long. Long as in, I can even wear it although I do have a small neck. My point is, I'd look at my son's necklace and see missing beads. At first I though they'd cracked off...but he was chewing them off!! So watch out!

It is a fine tool for precision work, I use it for small electronics, but I imagine it would be fine for jewelry making.
