tarznig says:I’m a bit confused. Never did this before.
Could I thread the wire through the bead to string other beads? Like tigertail?
Thank you.

Crystal Canary says:tarzmig, I believe the focal bar has glue in tips, so I’m pretty sure that you can not string a wire through it. They do make focal ‘tubes’ that are hollow in which a wire can go through. Try Item #57900 and see if that might work. Hope this helps. Have fun beading!

tarznig says:Thank you! Does 57900 come in gold tone?

Crystal Canary says:When I searched for these tubes, I didn’t see any. I don’t think #57900 came in gold, but I’m not completely sure. You can periodically check the different styles in stock–often sold out items will be restocked. I did find, however, a thinner tube in gold #61931, but it’s a bit different–not sure if it has the ‘bulk’ you’re looking for. Wishing success!

Crystal Canary says:Forgot to mention, the hole is a bit larger, so keep that in mind.
