Product Review – Beadalon Bead Spinner
Mister bought me one of these several months ago. I like it so thought I’d do a review of it in case you might be interested in getting one.
Here is what the manufacturer says about it:
Now you can string seed beads, liquid Silver beads and other small beads with Beadalon® Spin N Bead Loader. It is quick and easy, and makes tedious work simple. Just fill the bowl with beads and spin. Using a curved, Big Eye needle (sold separately), insert into spinning bowl and watch the beads jump onto the needle. The beads nest on their own. When you have needed beads, you simple move them onto the connected string. Continue until you have desired amount.
It is much faster than stringing by hand, one at a time. You have to use a special hook-shaped needle. And you have to hold the needle at a very specific angle for it to catch the beads. Once you catch it, you can string 4 or 5 inches of beads in a few seconds. But I have had problems bending the needle when I push the beads up onto the string, then finding it difficult to get the right angle wit the needle.
He bought mine at Hobby Lobby and I think it was about $20, but you might find it cheaper online.
