• VERSATILE USE: Ideal for knotting pearls, gemstones, crystals, and beads in necklaces and bracelets, offering durability against scratching and stretching.
• CRAFTING APPLICATIONS: Commonly used in fiber arts, needlecraft, tassel making, embroidery, sewing, buttonholes, tailoring, and hand quilting.

• Prepare Your Beads — Select your pearls, gemstones, or beads. Ensure the bead hole size is compatible with the 0.348 mm diameter of the silk cord. For easier threading, consider using a fine beading needle (Size 10 or 12).
• Thread the Cord — Thread the silk cord through the eye of your beading needle, if using. Pass the needle and cord through the first bead. Leave a sufficient tail (approx. 6-8 inches) for finishing or knotting later.
• Knot and String — String your beads onto the cord. For pearl necklaces, tie a knot securely between each pearl. The silk cord forms virtually invisible knots, ensuring a clean and professional appearance for your jewelry.
• Finish Your Piece — Once all beads are strung and knotted, secure the ends. You can tie a strong knot, use crimp beads with a crimping tool, or attach findings. Trim any excess cord close to the knot.
