What findings are best to use?
The same findings that are used for other beading work. Your craft store will have many racks available for your selection. You can even shape your own, from silver or other metals. Some tools will be needed, such as, various pliers, with small heads designed specifically for this purpose. Round-nose pliers for shaping, needle-nose pliers for crimping and cutter-pliers, for trimming are handy items to have available. Some of the findings readily available at craft stores include: Tigertail wire, monofilament, clasps, ear wires and posts, ear clips and screwbacks, hoops, eye-rings, crimping beads, cones, bails, head-pins, barrette clips, button covers, pin backs and also leather strips for necklaces and bracelets. Small seed beads can also be incorporated into your creations as separators. Catalogs are great sources for findings and are usually less expensive than craft stores.
