String up

Hi, everyone.

I'm used to say string up beads.
The beads have been string up.

But when I look up string up on the internet it means to hang someone up.

Was I wrong about the usage?

Thank you.

In BrE, you string beads, you don't string them up. "String up" does indeed mean to hang a person.
