Our big eye beading needles are especially great when working with materials like, stone beads, clay beads, pearl beads, glass beads, seed beads and wooden beads. Here are just a few tips and tricks about jewelry threading needles. Make sure when you cut your beading thread you hold it tight. Doing this will stop the thread from having any kinks making it easier to thread. Always try to trim your bead stringing thread with sharp scissors so the fibers of the thread don't fray. Before threading try to flatten the end of the thread with either your fingers or gently with your teeth. Flattening the thread makes it a lot easier to string through they eye of the needle. We can’t wait to see all the great designs you create with our threading needles. Get yours today, here at The Bead Chest!

Beading needles make stringing faster and easier, helping you guide thread or cord cleanly through even the smallest beads. At The Bead Chest we carry a range of beading needles — including big-eye, collapsible-eye and twisted-wire styles — suited to seed beads, pearls, stone and everything in between.

Beading needle FAQ

What is a beading needle used for?

A beading needle carries thread or cord through the hole of a bead. Its slim profile lets you string small or tightly drilled beads that would be difficult to thread by hand.

What is a big-eye beading needle?

A big-eye needle has a long opening that runs almost its full length, making it easy to load and ideal for thicker cords and stringing many beads at once.
