Whoopie Sling Bead Options

[No-sage]

I use nothing, and just don't pull it too far.

Most of mine have bling, those I make for others, I bought the $5 9million wood bead box at Walmart.

I've used regular plastic pony beads and have only broke one (slammed in car door.) For the ultimate in durability, I've used 1/8" brass and zinc plated steel nuts (a little on the heavy side if you're counting grams.) If you're looking for "bling," durable, and super light, might I suggest www.firemountaingems.com and click on metal beads then pick aluminum as your material.

Drill out the top of a lego head and it fits 7/64 Amsteel perfectly. Extremely durable, and ubiquitous around my home.

I cut a small piece of food grade plastic tubing...Like from a platypus drinking tube. I cut it maybe 1/4 inch thick

I did a lego head!

What about zinc nuts, like 1/4x20? Those are good and heavy too.

My thought was this though, little rubber o rings

zinc nuts are what I am using.

Zip tie for me, I got so excited when making my last set I didn't think to put a stopper in. My next set will have some Lego heads , I think that's a great idea.
