Common tools that everyone should have: SUPER-GLUE - This is useful in securing bead tips. It should be used as sparingly as possible. GRAPH PAPER - Use graph paper to work out some of your more complicated designs. If it can be drawn, it can be done in beadwork. COLORED PENCILS - These are useful with graph paper for working out designs. Try to get a wide range of colors. SMALL JARS and CONTAINERS - Useful for holding beads, thread, findings, and needles. DOUBLE-STICK TAPE - Can be purchased in any five and dime store, or craft store. It is useful for holding your work to the table. SMALL TRAY - Line the tray with either velours or velvet to help avoid chasing runaway beads. NEEDLE-NOSE PLIERS -These are very handy to have around for attaching findings. They can reach into a piece and grab a very short thread end. Although I don't recommend it, they can also be used to break a bead for removal from a piece. SCISSORS - These should be small and sharp. Manicure scissors work very well. TWEEZERS - These are optional. If you don't have small slender fingers, you may find them handy for picking up beads. | |||||||||||
