What String Do You Use for Beaded Keychains?
The most popular string for beaded keychains is stretchy beading cord. It is strong, yet has some give to it, so your beads won’t fall off easily. Beading cord comes in clear and a variety of colors, so you can choose what will work best with your design.
Other types of string that can be used for beaded keychains are fishing line or thin wire.
How Do You String Beads for Keychain?
There are a few different ways that you can string beads for keychain. The most important thing is to make sure that the beads are secure so that they don’t fall off of the keychain.
One way to string beads for a keychain is to use beading wire.
This type of wire is specifically designed for beading and is very strong. It is also thin, so it won’t add a lot of bulk to your keychain. To use beading wire, thread it through each bead and then tie a knot at the end.
You can also add a clasp to one end of the beading wire so that it’s easier to attach your keychain.
Another way to string beads for a keychain is to use fishing line. This type of line is also strong and won’t add bulk to your keychain.
However, it can be difficult to thread through small beads. If you’re using fishing line, you may need to use a needle to help thread the beads onto the line. Once all of the beads are on, tie a knot at the end and add a clasp if desired.
You can also use ribbon or cord to string your beads. These materials are not as strong as beading wire or fishing line, but they’re much easier to work with. Simply thread the ribbon or cord through each bead until you have all of them on there.
How Do You Make Beaded Tassels for Keychains?
If you’re looking to add a touch of fun and flair to your keychain, consider making beaded tassels! Beaded tassels are easy to make and can be customized to match any style. Plus, they make great gifts!

Choose beads in colors that coordinate with each other and complement your personal style.
2. Cut a length of wire about 12 inches long. Fold the wire in half and thread on your beads, leaving about 2 inches of wire at the top.
Continue adding beads until the entire length of wire is filled.
3. Once all of your beads are in place, fold the two ends of wire together and twist to secure. Trim any excess wire if necessary.
4.. To create the tassel effect, wrap the wired portion around a pencil or pen several times tightly. Carefully slide the wrapped wires off of the pencil/pen and bring the two ends together, twisting to secure once again.
