SS6 Rhinestone Banding 10 Yard Card - Yellow

Rhinestone banding is popular for contemporary indigenous beadwork. It features a crystal set in a plastic and strung together.

SS6 ~2.0mm crystals; use for earrings and small detail.
SS8 ~2.4mm crystals; use for larger earrings, medallions, and regalia pieces.

Directions: to attach rhinestone banding to beadwork, tack down the strings between the stones. Some artists use glue; generic craft glue will work. For tight curves, tack down one side of the strings first and then tack the second side separately. For earrings and other edging pieces, it is easier to attach the banding when the beadwork is finished. For leggings, moccasins or other large beaded pieces, it can be easier to attach the banding before beading. Rhinestone banding can also be used to do the vines on floral pieces, outline geometric beadwork and trim pieces.
