Weaving In Ends
To weave in the ends of yarn or thread into a crocheted piece, when cutting yarn where indicated in , leave a length of about 6" so that you can use a needle to weave with.
Turn the piece over so the wrong side is facing you and put the yarn or thread through a needle suitable in size for the type of yarn or thread.
Push the needle through the stitches in the back being sure to pierce the fibers of the thread or yarn and work in about 1 to 2 inches. Run the needle back through the stitches in the opposite way to secure them. You may want to separate the strings of the yarn or thread and then weave in each individual string in for extra security. This is not really necessary though for most projects.

Random Quick Tip!
Coat the inside of Paper Beads.To coat the inside of paper beads, without letting them stick to everything. After you are done glazing the outside of the beads, thread a 6-8 inch piece of worsted weight yarn, (or yarn that will completely fill the hole, when doubled up), onto a needle that will fit inside the glazed and dried beads, dip the yarn, being careful not to get the needle wet, pass the wet yarn through the bead coating the inside only. If the glaze is on the outside of the hole, just wipe it off on a piece of paper towel. Set the bead aside to allow to dry.
