I have a very popular pearl necklace. These are large ethnic beads on waxed cotton fabric, similar to leather. It's such a favorite that I've worn it with a bare thong. I'm not a bead maker or craftsman, I'm just the owner of a necklace that I knew needed rethreading. The waxed cotton used is 1.5 mm thick, so very large. First I found an old quilting needle and opened the eye to accommodate this large cord. Everything was fine until I came across beads that couldn't accommodate the thick material and big eye. I was so happy to find these folding pins. Actually I used two strings together because he was afraid that one of them would break in the middle of the string. You are not. I don't know where to find them other than Revane. I called several very large craft stores and they didn't have them. Feel free to buy if you have a big or small project. You are a find. These are before and after photos of my project.
