bracelet question

[africanviolin.livejournal.com]

text only, sry!

I have some longer, cylindrical beads that I would like to use for a bracelet.


Rather than lining them up horizontally, as such:



I would like to run them vertically, like:

-----------
IIIIIIIIIII
-----------

(where --- = string possibly and III = beads)


The beads have holes in the 'top' and 'bottom', like they're meant to be strung horiztonally.

Is there some sort of knot, special wire, etc to help me do this? I have no idea how.


Thank you to anyone who thinks they can help!
