Beaded straps for use with articles of clothing and methods of manufacturing them are disclosed. In one embodiment, a beaded brassiere strap comprises a main portion and an elastic portion. To provide the main portion, a segment of relatively inelastic beading wire is attached to a first hook and threaded through one or more bead pattern sections in a first direction. The relatively inelastic beading wire is then threaded through a connector bead, then threaded through one or more bead pattern sections in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction, then attached to the first hook. To provide the elastic portion, a segment of relatively elastic wire is also threaded through the connector bead, then loaded with beads, then attached at both ends to a second hook, such that the first and second hooks are at substantially opposite ends of the completed strap.

We claim: 1. A beaded brassiere strap, comprising: a first beaded portion of a brassiere strap attached at a first end of said first beaded portion to a first brassiere attachment means and comprising a loop of low-elasticity beading wire threaded through a connector bead located at a second end su
We claim: 1. A beaded brassiere strap, comprising: a first beaded portion of a brassiere strap attached at a first end of said first beaded portion to a first brassiere attachment means and comprising a loop of low-elasticity beading wire threaded through a connector bead located at a second end substantially opposite said first end of said first beaded portion; and a second beaded portion of said brassiere strap attached at a first end of said second beaded portion to a second brassiere attachment means and comprising a loop of high-elasticity beading cord threaded through said connector bead, wherein said second brassiere attachment means is substantially opposite said first brassiere attachment means, wherein said connector bead is located between said first brassiere attachment means and said second brassiere attachment means, and wherein said connector bead joins said loop of low-elasticity beading wire and said loop of high-elasticity beading cord. 2. The beaded brassiere strap of claim 1, wherein said first and second brassiere attachment means comprise hooks. 3. A method of manufacturing a beaded brassiere strap, comprising: coupling a first beaded portion of a brassiere strap at a first end of said first beaded portion to a first brassiere attachment means; coupling said first beaded portion of said brassiere strap to a connector bead located at a second end of said first beaded portion substantially opposite said first end of said first portion, thereby forming a loop of low-elasticity beading wire; coupling a first end of a second beaded portion of said brassiere strap to said connector bead, thereby forming a loop of high-elasticity beading cord; and coupling a second end of said second beaded portion of said brassiere strap to a second brassiere attachment means, wherein said second brassiere attachment means is substantially opposite said first brassiere attachment means and said connector bead joins said loop of low-elasticity beading wire and said loop of high-elasticity beading cord. 4. A method of manufacturing a beaded brassiere strap, comprising: threading a first low-elasticity beading wire through a first set of one or more decorative beads; threading said first low-elasticity beading wire through a first separator bead by inserting said first low-elasticity beading wire into a first opening in said first separator bead; threading said low-elasticity beading first wire through a connector bead; threading said first low-elasticity beading wire through said first separator bead by inserting said first low-elasticity beading wire into a second opening in said first separator bead; threading said low-elasticity beading first wire through a second set of one or more decorative beads; attaching the ends of said first low-elasticity beading wire to a first brassiere attachment hook, thereby forming a loop of low-elasticity beading wire; threading a second high-elasticity beading wire through said connector bead; and attaching the ends of said second high-elasticity beading wire to a second brassiere attachment hook, thereby forming a loop of high-elasticity beading wire, wherein said second brassiere attachment hook is substantially opposite said first brassiere attachment hook, wherein said connector bead is located between said first brassiere attachment hook and said second brassiere attachment hook, and wherein said connector bead joins said loop of low-elasticity beading wire and said loop of high-elasticity beading wire. 5. A beaded brassiere strap, comprising: a first beaded portion of a brassiere strap attached at a first end of said first beaded portion to a first brassiere attachment means and comprising a loop of low-elasticity beading wire coupled with a connector bead located at a second end substantially opposite said first end of said first beaded portion; and a second beaded portion of said brassiere strap forming a loop of high-elasticity beading wire coupled with said connector bead and with first beaded portion of said brassiere strap at said second end of said first beaded portion of said brassiere strap, and attached to a second brassiere attachment means, wherein said second brassiere attachment means is substantially opposite said first brassiere attachment means and wherein said connector bead joins said loop of low-elasticity beading wire and said loop of high-elasticity beading wire. 6. The beaded brassiere strap of claim 5, wherein said first and second brassiere attachment means comprise hooks. 7. The beaded brassiere strap of claim 5, wherein said loop of low-elasticity beading wire and said loop of high-elasticity beading wire are threaded through said connector bead. 8. The beaded brassiere strap of claim 7, wherein said first and second brassiere attachment means comprise hooks. 9. A method of manufacturing a beaded brassiere strap, comprising: coupling a first beaded portion of a brassiere strap at a first end to a first brassiere attachment means; forming a loop of low-elasticity beading wire at a second end of said first beaded portion substantially opposite said first end of said first beaded portion; threading a first end of a second beaded portion of said brassiere strap through said loop, thereby forming a loop of high-elasticity beading wire; and coupling a second end of said second beaded portion of said beaded strap to a second brassiere attachment means, wherein said second brassiere attachment means is substantially opposite said first brassiere attachment means and wherein said loop of low-elasticity beading wire is joined with said loop of high-elasticity beading wire at a point between said first brassiere attachment means and said second brassiere attachment means. 10. The method of manufacturing a beaded brassiere strap of claim 3, wherein said coupling of said first beaded portion of said strap to said connector bead comprises threading said loop of low-elasticity beading wire through said connector bead, and wherein said coupling of said first end of said second beaded portion of said brassiere strap to said connector bead comprises threading said loop of high-elasticity beading cord through said connector bead. 11. The method of manufacturing a beaded brassiere strap of claim 3, wherein said first and second brassiere attachment means comprise hooks. 12. The method of manufacturing a beaded brassiere strap of claim 10, wherein said first and second brassiere attachment means comprise hooks.
