Often I include vintage plastic beads in my design. Sometimes they are somehow adhered to the stringing material.

I’ve microwaved them, boiled them, froze and crushed them . Someone out there must have an answer?

starstarstarstarstar		 Vintage Beads Stuck To Stringing Material
by: Anonymous

My husband has managed to pull them off the string with his teeth! Lol…what ever works.

Except that that the 30 gauge wire is all that will fit through the tiny holes, so you need to ream them. The ones smaller than 3 mm break easy.

Hope this helps.

I'm Christine Gierer and I'm obsessed with making jewelry and teaching others how to do it too. I've been a creative person all my life, and I've done all kinds of things like art, sociology, and counseling. But nothing makes me happier than playing with beads, wires, and tools and sharing my tips and tricks with you. I have two awesome websites where you can find tons of tutorials, courses, and workshops on how to make jewelry and how to sell it online.
