Creative Beading

hemp jewelry beading question?

I’ve been making hemp jewelry, and I’m having trouble with the beads. when I’m making the spiral pattern i tie the piece with another piece of string so that it can spin when I’m making. when I put the beads on I try to make sure they’re facing the same direction, but when the piece is finished sometimes one of the beads will kind of migrate around after a while. how do I keep them from doing this?

Use some glue to keep them in place.
