In beading,what do you do when the wire starts to twist and you can’t get the beads over it?

arielstar34 asked:

I'm making beaded critters for a group of students at a local school.The wire keeps on twisting and I get so frustrated because the beads won't move.I pull but I'm left with cutting the wire which I don't like to do.

   Do you mean the wire is actually bending to the point that the beads won’t slide over the end? or that the entire piece of wire is “swiveling”? I’m trying to picture the problem…

   Are you running the wire through a the beads, or stringing them on one at a time? Cause if you are running the wire through the beads and picking them up with it, you’re scrunching the wire up and that’s what’s causing your problem. Hold the wire upright, then string them on one at a time. I know, it takes longer, but you won’t have to keep cutting the wire.
