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
