Hey everyone, Does anyone know where to find little clear rubber spacers? What are they called? I think they were used in those invisible floating necklaces a while back. I have some small pearls that don't look that great with knots so I'm looking for some alternatives when stringing them. Thanks,


Bead Bumpers ???

You have some pearls that don't look great with knots, so you thought putting clear rubber bumpers between them would look better?

How bout some 3mm saucer or disc metal beads? Or perhaps 4mm crystals in a like or contrasting color? God, practically anything would better between pearls besides small plastic bumpers!! That would be a crime! Go on gurl, let your imagination run wild, maybe check out a few supply sites and see whats new. Good luck to you.

Thanks Anna, I think they are called bumper beads. Rings & Things has them but I sure would like to see them first.

How about seed beads? You could get clear ones that would almost be invisible. Or in a coordinating or contrasting color.

i throw those away mostly hahaha they make stuff look cheap you can also find the thicker kind as a tubing to cut your own at Hobby Lobby Micheal's and cut them your selfgood luck with your project dont mind our opinions if you cant find them i have 2 or 3 strands of beads with them between I send them to you if you like Vjust email me

Thanks Vicky, I ended up just using some vermeil beads I had sitting around. It looks OK but I think I just want larger pearls 8-}

how about showing us if you can smile V
