It's Day 4 of March Meet The Maker and the theme is: Tools.
One of the best thing about beading is how few tools you need!
My essentials are:
- A beading mat (stops the beads running away and no loops or pile for my needles to catch on)
- Beading needles (I prefer a size 10- nice and thick to hold so my hand doesn't get so tired)
- Sharp scissors or snips
- Good thread (I prefer something like Miyuki thread, Nymo, One G or C-lon)
- A bangle sizer for working out the right size for any bracelets
And last, but definitely not least,
- A bead breaker in case I make a mistake...
