Ask the Experts Bead Huggers Q&A

What can I use to secure a seed beaded bead I made? It’s an inch long and 2mm hole. I’m putting it on a silver 2mm tube, but it slides around. Does your company make bead huggers big enough to go onto the tube? What would you suggest?

Yes! Bead Huggers are tiny but quite stretchy. Your bead and tube are both labeled as 2mm, but there is a tolerance level for each so the manufacturer could allow them to be a tiny bit larger or smaller than a perfect 2mm. That sounds like the case here. 2x0.5mm bead huggers should do the trick. We suggest spacing two or three out around your tube where you want the bead to sit, so the bead will hide them well, then slide on your bead and center it.
