I put a drop of super glue on the knot once I have it tight enough but before I cut of excess striing

You might consider a beadwoven bracelet using a stitch like herringbone, square or right angle weave. You can make them as big as you want. Peyote stitch, too, but it would take a lot of time and beads.

I was thinking that maybe a bracelet in the Egyptian style with wirework that you could make at wide as you needed and not tight.

You might also try vintage rose, which is a bit lighter.

Can I go back and add a charm or pendent to a necklace once I have finished it?
The necklace is made on a soft wire and the glass beads are very close together.

You can use an open jump ring to add a charm or pendant to a finished necklace. The size of jump ring that you will use will depend on the size of the beads on the necklace. You can feel free to contact our Customer Service department by phone or email with the measurement of these beads and the dimensions/product code of the charm or pendant, and we would be happy to recommend to you an appropriate size of jump ring to use.

I use crimp covers to cover the crimps and this also keeps the crimp from scratching your arm or neck as I have found to happen. It looks neat also. it really has a finished look.

We would need to know a bit more specific information about the discs; namely, where the hole is drilled on the discs, and how thick the discs are. Once we have this information, we would be happy to assist you further with your design questions. You can also feel free to contact our Customer Service department via phone or email with this information as well.

What options do I have for stringing material if I want to make a "floating" necklace?
I want to create the look of several swarovski beads floating around the neck, attached to an "invisible wire". Does it have to be fishing line? If so, can I use crimp beads to hold the beads in place and normal materials to finish the necklace?

have made several floating necklaces. Although the stringing material is not quite invisible. I found that using the fine Softflex .014 mm gold/silver still gives this look and weightless feeling. I also use magnetic closures. Very small Crimps. I also, use alot of Swarovski Crystals.
