Bead Spinner

Let the Bead Spinner do all the work for you! No longer will you have to sit for hours hunched over with an aching back stranding those tiny seeds. The Bead Spinner works with any size seed bead that will slip over the curved needle, including Delicas and sizes 11/0 to 6/0. When you spin the bowl with the beads inside, centrifugal force is produced which forces the beads onto the needle. You may use any thread or wire that will fit through the bead when doubled through the "eye" of the needle or use a thin thread as a leader for stringing onto cord. One 7 inch special needle is included with the spinner.

Beading Loom

This loom is by Beazu. It is 11 inches long by 7 inches wide. The spring spacers do rotate down so that you can make a very long piece of beadwork. You can use this loom for continuous threads or a cut threads method. I admit it is not nearly as good a quality as the Miyuki looms (impossible to find in this country) but the price is great. I think for the money it is superb value. This is the loom that I used on my new Mystery Braid and Convertible Braid projects
