Ribbons
I purchased dyed ribbons awhile ago here and am wondering, how do you get the end through the small bead hole?

I used waxed floral tape. Cut the end of the ribbon at an angle, then tightly wrap with the tape. It won't work for really small holes, but it works for the ones I use.

I use E6000 glue to make a stiff point in the ribbon (or the silk rattail cord)
String ALL of your beads on in order for all the necklaces you are going to make. Then cut the cord into appropriate legnths for each necklace. This way you make one point for all and not one point for each necklace.
(I hope that made sense)

I use a piece of thin wire and thread the ribbon and pull it through.
you could also use thread.

Thanks yellowbird, I'll give some of these a try and see which is the easiest although they all sound easy, lazy lady here.
