Selecting Macrame Pins and Beads

To keep your project pined against your work area, you’ll need some nice strong pins. I recommend either corsage pins or those T shape pins they use to keep wigs stuck on foam heads.

Next, you just need beads of your choice. You can use polymer clay, lampwork, wood, just about any type of bead you want. Your only restrictions are the size of the hole. It needs to fit through your cord. Normally, most cords are about 1mm thick.
