HI,

I am currently working on a project which calls for seed beads to be hung from a metal crown. I am using Beadalon Bead Stringing wire with crimp beads but I don't like the way it hangs, because frankly it just kinda looks too stiff for my taste. I am wondering if I could use some stretchy plastic or nylon type thread with crimp beads or will it slip out?

Thanks!

I think the crimp beads would weaken or cut nylon or plastic, same for thread.
Try gluing the knot, or glue the last bead on the string, glue will wick into the center whole of the bead if you hold it up to the nozzle and squeeze out a drop of glue.Alternatives would be leather cord, elastic, or just some cording that you tie a pretty knot in the end.

If you tie a proper knot, and a bit of glue ( E6000) to the knot and then crimp over the knot, there should not be a problem.
