My new favorite beading tool is definitely dental threader floss! Check out this video for how to add beads to a 2-st I-cord using this readily available tool hack. Two little inside tricks:
- Alternate which stitch you bead so you get the little bit of shine and shimmer all the way around the I-cord.
- Probably the only time I “bead down” is on a 2-st I-cord when it is the first stitch on the row that is getting the bead simply because I find it awkward holding the unworked stitch on the unworked needle while dropping off the worked stitch to receive the bead.
