Add-A-Bead Chain

Is this a cool chain or what?!! I've seen these in the craft store before, but have never used them. A very kind fellow-beader gifted me with this last week and I have been anxious to get it out of the package ever since!

This is a Darice product and the package reads, "18in. chain with add-a-bead easy clasp-bright silver". The little photo on the package shows how the clasp pulls apart easily. "Simply pull apart clasp to add beads and charms".

Again, I say, how cool is that?!! This would be a great product to use with new beaders. There is nothing intimidating about adding beads to a chain and would probably rope some new, unsuspecting beadaholics right in!

I don't see a measurement for the diameter of the chain, but I just tried one of yesterday's swarovski cubes and the hole was just a little too small. So, here I go to dig around in some bead containers!! Have a good one!!

Very cool..it would be great for someone like myself who usually wears very simple necklaces, have arthritis in my neck and can't wear the chunky necklaces which I love...I could have as many pendants as I wanted with just the one chain! Love the concept!

Cheers

This is a great product for beginners who can't attach clasps yet!

This IS very easy...except how do you stop your beads from falling off? Whenever I pull the clasp apart, the beads fall off!!
