Cheap alternative to beading needles!

[David Robertson]

Hey, a little bird told me that dental-floss threaders come in handy for us beaders.

These are the little lassos of thin-gauge fishing line stuff, available in stores and pharmacies everywhere.  

You're supposed to use them to thread your floss through difficult spots, like under bridges, between crowns, etc.

But you can use a floss threader just like our Big Eye needles and Igolochkoy threaders.  Those are here in our catalog, if you want to familiarize yourself with some of the options.

The advantage of using dental-floss threaders as bead-cord threaders is, they're cheap and you can buy them right in your neighborhood.

The disadvantage is that they're obviously not made for beading, and they're weak enough that they'll break more often than Rings & Things stuff will.

I'd love to hear more tips on homemade beading solutions!
