Have you ever had a necklace or bracelet break on you and the beads go everywhere?

Usually this happens at the clasp where the stringing material goes through the loop.  It also usually happens when you use thread, instead of Tiger Tail or other wire.  

This week I’m showing you to stop this happening by adding French wire to your piece.  It also gives a lovely professional finish.
