BEADING TOOLS FAQs

Below we answered some of your frequently asked questions about the tools and beading materials we use.

PRODUCTS & MATERIALS

Where did you get your bead spinner?

Our bead spinner was purchased from etsy.com. The seller's name on etsy is EmbroideryHoopKS. The seller is located in Ukraine so it may take up to 4 weeks to receive the spinner.

What type of string do you use?

We use a double layer of durable string that has a high breakage point. To purchase our string, visit Ultra Strong Beading Thread

What type of needles do you use?

We use durable hook-shape needles that pairs well with any bead spinner. These are not your typical "J Needles" sold at Hobby Lobby or any craft stores. Craft store needles are made of aluminum, making them bend, flop and deform easily. These needles are made of steel and because of their durability, they can last 5x longer than typical aluminum needles.

To purchase, vist Ultra Strong Beading Needles

These needles do not support bead sizes 11/0 and under*

What type of beads do you use?

We use a variety of different beads. The beads that we use mostly are Czech beads. Czech beads are high quality beads that are uniform and do not fade or chip. As of now, Czech beads are the industry standard for waistbeads.

To purchase Czech beads and elevate your bead work, visit Czech Seed Beads
