That way you can start using the thread as soon as you receive it. The 4-ply waxed linen is perfect for threading beads of all sizes, charms and many other embellishments. HERE ARE JUST SOME OF THE EXAMPLES FOR THE USES OF THE WAXED THREAD: FOR ARTIST TRADING CARDS: My favorite use is wrapping the thread around my Artist Trading Card or thread it around the ATC corners. Punching holes with a hand punch thread linen. FOR TAGS: Thread linen and fibers through an eyelet at the top of a tag and attached beads to dangle down. Also, thread and knot the linen, putting one bead between each knot. I usually knot every inch. FOR CARDS: Wrap the linen around the inside of the card and knot it on the outside of the card. You can also tie and make a bow. I like to tie and add beads to dangle down that coordinate with my color theme.
