Tips for Your First Beading Project
Beading is a great way to show your creativity. And some beading projects and ideascan be very easy to implement. You can easily make your own beaded ascessories. Here are several tips for easy beading for beginner beaders that will help you avoid common mistakes and allow you to enjoy your completed beaded project.
1 Space your beads
Majority of beading projects that include small beads especially semi-precious, Swarovski, glass and pearl beads require a spacer between them. There are two ways to do so - make a simple knot between your beads, or insert a decorative spacer. I prefer spacers, because they make the design more interesting. It is best to use silver or gold spacers with expensive beads - they won't loose the shine as they age.
2 Use a beading board
Before putting your beads on a wire lay the beads you are planning to use out on a jewelry layout board. You can buy these boards in any shop that sells, craft supplies, beads and beading tools. The board lets you see, how your design will work before you connect everything. If you don't have a board, use a plain light bath towel, so your beads don't scatter.
3 How to keep your beads on the table
Even if you use a beading board, it is a good idea to cover the table you work on with a towel. Beads rolling all over the table can drive you crazy, but put a towel under your beads and they can't escape. Also, if you have a cat, cover your work with another towel, if you leave even for a few minutes. My cat can destroy hours of work in less then 30 seconds.
4 Cut enough string
If you are going to use knots, then cut the string 4 times longer than finished project plus a few extra inches, otherwise 2 times longer. Also you can fold your string twice or even four times, to make it stronger. This is particularly true if you use heavy glass beads and large beads.
5 String color is important
Your don't always have to use white string, buy a string that matches the color of your beads for this project. If you can't find a string in that particular shade, take a white one and dye it, any permanent marker would do the job.
6 Remember, that your string will probably strech under beads weight
In my first beaded necklaces I always had this problem - you finish a necklace, than after a day of wearing it the string stretches and beads are no longer tight together, looks awful. To avoid this, after all the beads are on, hang your necklace for a day or so, than do the final knotting or attach clasps.
7 Secure the ends
Final knots are important, it is best to use square knots and tighten them firmly. Then apply some jewelers glue to your knots and only after that cut the loose ends
8 Use a good lighting source
Beading for several hours can give you a bad eye strain, especially if you are working with seed beads. So always have a good light on, a desk lamp is best. A tool that can also make your work easy is a beading a magnifying glass. It will also help keep your project neat and prevents small mistakes and redoing parts of your project.

Does anyone know the start & stop time for new home construction builders in the city limits of Round Rock,TX?
We have a new home being built next to our home. The workers start before 7:00am and don't finish until sometimes after 8:00 in the evening, sometimes even later if there is any day light left. What are the guidelines for time limits on builders? Or does anyone know where I can find this information. Thanks.
Coincidentaly I live in Williamson County just west of Round Rock (620-183 area). The city of Round Rock is one of my Recycled Paint suppliers for my company http://CapCityEco.com
They are not allowed to start any equipment or make noise till 8:00 AM. No loud radios, no compressors, nail guns etc.
The after 8 in the evening is normal. That statute is after 10 PM
You have a legitimate complaint anytime before 8 AM.
Round Rock PD will gladly clean the house out for you. We both know the cops pull up and the "guest workers" (or not being politically correct "illegals") scatter.
Doing that repeatedly they will learn.
