The main problem with using fishing line or other similar fibers is making a
secure knot. Glue or heat is needed to be certain it won't just undo itself.
If you have solved the knot problem and like the flexible spangles, then use
them.
I use fishing line and never had a spangle break on me
Dear Marianne,
I once did exactly as you have done and the beading thread is very
successful. However, it started to break earlier this year (after
about 3 or 4 years of constant use) so I've now gone back to the wire.

Is there a specific reason why spangles are
Hello Marianne and everyone
Wire used to be used all the time because that's what was available.
Fishing line/monofilament, dental floss, beading thread, wire - use
whatever you like that works for you :)
I like the way of the beads on wire and that is my preference.
I find with the others the
Marianne, you could always try the Christine Springett way of spangling
where the wire ends are inside the large bead at the bottom and cannot catch
on anything, its a bit tricky at first but once you get used to it I think
its the best way.

I have found that the spangles done with Nemo do not hold up well. The wires

Must be the fishy swimming tendency that stops Nemo staying tied : )

I think the spangling method depends on who taught you. I was taught to use
wire, so that's what I usually use. I tried various methods, and learned
different ways of dealing with problems. I like to have the wire go through
the bobbin hole twice and fasten on each side. However, some
Looks a great spangling method to me. Think I shall have to give that a go.
I hate spangling.

How to spangle with beading wire (tiger tail) and crimp beads:

Your instructions are very well explained, Rebecca. I use the same method,
just with the following comments:
I use .38 Tiger Tail beading wire, bought through eBay in 100m rolls very
cheaply (also my crimps). I find buying shorter lengths in bead shops far
too expensive.
I use gold seed beads

I like the idea of no knots but what are crimping beads?

My experience (limited) with beading nylon is that you either have to tie a
firm knot which is fairly unattractive on something as small as a spangle,
or you have to use crimps, which look fine in jewelry, but not so fine on a
spangle. If you could resolve those issues, then I think it would

I use fishing line and need to hide the knot inside a bead. I would
think that I would do the same thing with beading nylon. I am not fond
