As promised, my stitch markers are new and improved! This diagram shows the wire in red, the beads in blue. With wire cutters, clip enough 24 gauge wire to wrap around a needle twice, leaving at least an inch extra at both ends, or however long you want the beaded dangle to be. With small pliers, pinch the ends together directly under the needle, to crimp the wires into a right angle. To keep the wire from springing off the needle, keep holding the pliers while threading a bead or two onto both ends of the wire, then let go of the pliers. Add remaining beads, preferably ending with a 4mm seed bead. With wire cutters, clip the ends even to within 5mm of the last bead. Use round nose pliers to curl each wire end into the last bead. Now you have seamless stitch markers!I hope my Bead-it pal likes these Czech glass beads....
