As I’ve shown in other videos, there are many different ways to string beads and finish jewelry other than the typical chain or bead stringing wire.
In today’s video I show how to use bead tips, these little clam shell shaped findings. So the next time you want to use thread or fine cord you’ll know how to get neat & tidy endings to your pieces.
Here are a few examples of the different bead tips out there:
- Sterling Silver Clamshell Bead Tips
- Gold Plated Clamshell Bead Tips, 4mm
- Antique Copper Bead Tip, 3mm
- Vintage Brass Clamshell Bead Tip
Enjoy the video and happy creating!
You can watch the Friday Findings-How to Use Bead Tips video over at Youtube.
Okay, that’s good to know! Love your tools. 😀
Hope you found it helpful!
Yes, tools are wonderful. 😀

You would have to use a different finding, such as cord ends. Here’s a video I made a while ago about using them to finish jewelry: https://youtu.be/vtJtuwGfhWo
