Bead threading tool and method for crocheting, knitting and the like

A method of using a bead threading tool for securing beads to an article made by crocheting, knitting or the like using a tool comprised of a folded wire having a distal end with a twist at a folded end, an intermediate section formed by overlapping half portion of the folded wire and a proximal end at the tips of the folded wire;

• and a handle having means for fixably holding the tips of the folded wire at the proximal end, said method comprising the steps of:
• placing one or more beads on the tool by inserting the distal end of the tool into a hole in the beads and pushing said one or more beads toward the proximal end of the tool still leaving a space between the wires of the intermediate section of the tool;
• inserting a pull-up loop of a working thread in the space between the wires of the intermediate section and sliding the loop toward the distal end until the loop becomes hooked in the twisted distal end of the fit tool;
• moving a bead of said one or more beads from the proximal end of the tool toward and over the distal end until the bead is positioned on the loop;
• removing the loop from the tool by pushing the tool in the direction of the loop so that loop slides from the twisted distal end into the intermediate section of the tool where it is released;
• and
• completing a stitch using the loop to secure the bead to a desired location on the article.
