Create beautiful necklaces with
     no needle
     no necklace fastener
     no knotting between beads

String tiny seed beads and large designer beads together.

SoftFlex is a new stringing material that is strong enough to hold your expensive handmade beads and gemstone beads, yet thin enough to fit through your tiny seed beads. It is soft, flexible and drapes beautifully. Finally, a strong stringing material that doesn't have a stiff, springy look.

By using seed beads as separators, each of your designer beads is highlighted with their subtle, hidden colors brought out by the surrounding seed beads.

The Why-Knot designs let you move your large expensive collector beads from one necklace to another without restringing. This added versatility gives your special beads a whole new look each time you wear them.

Photos of the 10 projects are shown below.  Each project includes complete supply lists and detailed instructions.  And this book is loaded with bead stringing tips and techniques.

The cover price for Beadwrangler's Hands On Bead Stringing is $9.95
