[QUOTE="Guttermouth, post: 37272718"] Not sure about websites, but here's a fun one. Try incorporating come organza ribbon into your work. You can buy the organza ribbon at most craft stores or beading suppliers in a variety of colors. You will also need a small block of bees wax available from jewelry craft suppliers. Cut the ribbon to length leaving yourself some extra to work with. Cut the ends at a 45 degree angle or steeper, resulting in a end that tapers to a point. Press and gently rub the tapered end on the bees wax block, getting just enough on there to allow you to roll the organza between your fingers into a fine, needle-like point. You can then thread the organza through a bead. You must use beads that have average sized holes in them. Tiny holes wont accept the ribbon. Too much wax on the ribbon may also cause threading problems. You may need to re-apply was on occasion or even trim the edge of the ribbon. Beads can be spaced on the organza at any spacing intervals you want and stay in place on their own. The beads may move slightly but are easily repositioned. No knotting is necessary. To place a clasp, slide a smooth crimp (tube) bead onto the end of the organza, followed by the clasp. Now pay attention, here. Fold the pointed end of the organza over the clasp and against the flat part of the ribbon. then fold or roll the flat part of the ribbon over the pointed end. This will cover or envelop the pointed end and allow you to slide the crimp up the ribbon and over the part that contains the pointed end. In other words, it allows you to easily pull the ribbon back through the crimp. Once you can see the end is though the crimp, you can grab it and pull it through as far as you wish. Sounds complicated, but its really simple and easy. Once you ave gotten it where you want it, squeeze the crimp tight on the ribbon and do the other end of the piece the same way. [/QUOTE]
