Seed beads quickly create the look of a traditional knotted pearl strand in a fraction of the time!

Make the clip-on "strand enhancer" with colors that match the bridesmaids dresses!

TIP: Start and end the strand with a pearl so the stringing cable can double back through the first bead.

TIP: You must use a small jump ring to attach the bar end of toggle or you won't be able to close it.

See our Beading Cable Technique Sheet for stringing instructions.
