#BEAD TOOL 4 REVIEW PROFESSIONAL#

You can buy a cutters strictly designed for cutting steel and other blade-denting metals or do like me and employ one of your trashed flush cutters.Р”Р„ pair of these little pointy, extremely sharp scissors is a key component to any off-loomerРІР‚в„ўs toolbox, not only for cutting thread but also for getting into tight trim spots for bead embroidery. ItРІР‚в„ўs good to have a pair of wire cutters used solely for cutting flexible beading wire-the steel is murder on blades.

Again, when aiming for a professional look, a flush wire cut is so much nicer to look at (and to wear) than a mangled angled one. When you cut wire with this tool, youРІР‚в„ўll end up with one wire piece that has a flat, or flush cut, and another thatРІР‚в„ўs angled. The pointy jaws of this cutter are flat on one side, V-shaped on the other. But now I know the fine art of crimping and how much better a piece looks when done the proper way! Crimping pliers have jaws with two notches: one collapses the crimp tube, the other shapes it. My favorite feature? You can make a variety of loop sizes with this tool by simply moving the place on the jaws where youРІР‚в„ўre bending the wire.Р”В«efore I really knew about stringing beads on wire I thought a person could get by with just squeezing a crimp tube closed.

Round-nose pliers have smooth cylindrical jaws that taper to a point. If youРІР‚в„ўre in the market, make sure to buy ergonomically over economically! YouРІР‚в„ўll have these in your hands all the time so make sure theyРІР‚в„ўre comfortable.Р”В®ven though these pliers really only do one thing-bend loops-they are invaluable for getting a professional look. Chain-nose pliers have smooth flat jaws that taper to a point. Not only do I use them for bending wire but also for opening loops and rescuing my needle from too-filled-with-thread beads. Of all the beading tools on my worktable, I think the chain-nose pliers are my favorite. HereРІР‚в„ўs how IРІР‚в„ўd replace them, finger by finger: Scissors are nice, but if I were Edward, IРІР‚в„ўd switch out the tools on my hands. Heck, if this beading thing doesnРІР‚в„ўt work out I could always set up an orthodontia shop. 13 assorted pliers, 3 wire cutters, 7 assorted scissors, 1 thread burner, 12 metal files, 2 tweezers, 1 metal pick, 6 bead clips, 1 bead reamer, and dozens and dozens of needles. My hand tools are like natural-yet more precise and steely-extensions of my hand, and my bead table is covered with them. IРІР‚в„ўm sure we often look like distant cousins as I whirr from one tool to another while beading. I feel close to Edward in all of his tool-focused existence when it comes to my beading tools.

Did you ever see that movie Edward Scissorhands? The large variety of beading tools available can be overwhelming, but a few suggestions might help! Soon your beading tools will feel natural and easy, just like they are a part of your hand.

Sometimes a needle and thread is only half of what you need to make a bead weaving design.
