Because of their unique star shape, we recommend using a high-quality, flexible beading wire (such as 49-strand stainless steel) to prevent kinking near the star’s points. When stringing, you may choose to use crimp covers or small seed beads between each star to allow them to \"sit\" properly against the curve of the wrist or neckline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor best results, use a precision beading needle if you are incorporating these into loom work, ensuring that the thread tension is balanced to showcase the star's geometry. Always store your finished hematite pieces in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of their polished finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Make \u0026amp; Create\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sky is the limit when it comes to the creative applications of the 3x9mm Hematite Star.
