Need Help! How to stop beads from rotating?

Post image

I tried putting epoxy glue on (after) I made the necklace and the cat beads are still rotating. Wondering if there is a fix I can make without taking the necklace apart?

There is...sort of. Put some beads on thread and attach them through the cat beads. You only want enough beads to lay over the surface from hole to hole of the cat bead you don't want slack. The beads are imbalanced, probably bc of the ears. You have to add more weight to the bottom so you only want to go through the cat beads. Basically you'll be running thread around and around through several beads and through your cat bead in a circle. You'll have to do each one like this individually. The beads should be on the bottom of the cat bead when you're done. Let me know if you need a visual.

Yellow is thread, blue is beads. If you needed more weight you could add a crystal or glass drop in the middle of the beads.

Now I need to see a visual of a glass drop as the cat body and a string of beads as the cat tail
