@LightningstripeXxX Using bead tread and tying knots is easy. I use crazy glue to secure the knot. The crazy glue gel seems to work best as it doesn’t drip all over beads. You can squeeze just a drop onto the knot and let it dry. I’m going to try and make a video demonstration for you if you like, sometime in the following 2 weeks.

@LightningstripeXxX I buy my crimps in ebay. They are more affordable then craft shops. 2mm size seems to work the best, not too small to let pass tiger’s tail wire through, not too big to stick out after crimping. If you have more questions about crimping feel free to message me.

I don't know where to find crimps. And i bought a 3 in 1 tool, so it sucks. Can you do a vid with tying a clasp on?

I appreciate this video. I've made so many necklaces that just fell apart because I put weak clasps on them.
Nice moon ring, BTW!
