Needle and Thread

• 1). Thread a seed bead needle with seed bead thread. Make sure that you are using the proper sized needle for the size of seed bead. If the seed beads are too small, they will not fit over the eye of the needle.
  
  
• 2). Tie a knot in the end of the thread or attach one side of a clasp.
  
  
• 3). Pick up one seed bead and hold it so that both openings are exposed.
  
  
• 4). Push the point of the needle through the opening in the bead and push the bead to the end of the thread.
  
  
• 5). Continue beading until you have finished your item.
  
  

Spinner

• 1). Thread the curved needle. These needles are made specifically for threading seed beads with a spinner.
  
  
• 2). Tie a knot in the end of the thread or attach one side of a clasp.
  
  
• 3). Fill the spinner with all of the beads so that the bottom of the spinner is completely covered.
  
  
• 4). Push the sharp end of the needle into the beads. Use your other hand to spin the top of the spinner in the opposite direction the needle is facing. This will rotate the bead carriage, which will push beads onto your needle.
  
  
• 5). Pull the needle out when you have threaded enough beads. Refill the spinner with beads as needed.
