These 3mm bead tips are an elegant solution for terminating a strand of beads while hiding the knot.
To begin your design, you will want to tie a knot in the thread, add the string in the cup of the bead tip so that the knot rests in the tip. Make sure the knot is big enough that you cannot pull it through when the bead tip is closed. Trim the excess thread, and dab the knot with a dot of glue to hold it in place. Using chain nose pliers, gently press the bead cap closed. At this point you would also attach your clasp if you so desire. Finish the other end in the same manner.
