I have a general question. I been buy gently used beads and jewelry and taking the jewelry apart and reusing them in something new. my question is I have those pretty beads that are on strings and I want to take them off the string and make something new with them how in the heck can I get them off the strings without damaging the beads. I have been soaking them in hot soapy water it worked on some but not all. any suggestions?

I really don’t think you’ll damage the beads by cutting the string and taking them off, and if they’re on wire, I believe they would just need to be disassembled. Wishing you lots of good luck with whatever you choose to do! Very much looking forward to seeing your creations!👏🏻👏🏻🥰

I’m moving on up!

I made it to Level 7! I’m so excited, can’t wait to start beading again once my eye is healed enough.i will certainly be looking at the premium level material in the morning!! I’ve actually thought I could try beading with 6/0 seed beads, they are easy enough to see. I might try next week, just to keep me working on things😊
