TIPS:
* The large-hole 6mm beads make an interesting design element, since you can string all three strands of beading cable and leather cord through the beads at once.
* Make sure you don't cross the strands of Soft Flex.
* It may be necessary to ream some of the gemstone beads, due to varied bead-hole sizes. Use the battery-operated bead reamer (#69-058) to enlarge bead holes.
* Use adhesive to secure the beading cable and leather cord in the coil ends.
