Product Information

Yes, that’s right. You just need to be patient with yourself and keep persevering. Also, remember, even after fifteen years of using a bead spinner, I still get days when it doesn’t work brilliantly. I think sometimes a particular type of bead, or type of wire, or combination of the two, just isn’t great for spinning. Manual bead spinner: This type of bead spinner requires manual spinning, meaning that you need to rotate the tray by hand. It is suitable for smaller beadwork projects. The Endless Loom by Deb Moffett-Hall – The endless loom is just that, it creates an endless bracelet in a single piece. Using Loom-Bands and threading your beads onto that with stretchy seed beading cord, you can create a seamless bracelet with no clasps, no warp threads and no tie-offs. Adjust the size of the bracelet by changing the spacer rods between the loom ends. Kit includes a variety of different rod lengths and the parts are all kept in the included storage wrap. Bead spinners are an absolute game-changer for beading enthusiasts and jewellery makers. We can’t recommend them highly enough! The convenience and time-saving benefits they offer are truly remarkable.

Remember how I used to spend 2 hours threading the beads for a rose when I did it by hand? Now, with a bead spinner it takes me 10 minutes.Experimentation: Bead spinners are easy to customize and experiment with. You can use different beads' types and sizes, funnels and other supports to make unique works of art more easily. Its also important that the needle is angled properly, to allow the beads to slide with ease. Trial and error will be your best friend here, so be kind and patient with yourself! You’ll get the hang of it in no time. No matter what your beading project is, having a bead spinner as part of your toolkit is a must. Whether you are a professional jeweler or an avid hobbyist, the bead spinner is a tool that will help you finish any project with ease and precision. Bead spinners come in a range of price point. Look for options that offer the features you need within your budget. Be mindful that more expensive models may have additional features, accessories and durability advantages.

Bead spinners are also versatile tools that work well with various bead sizes and shapes. Whether you’re working with seed beads, round beads, or even irregularly shaped beads, a bead spinner can handle them all. This versatility makes it an essential tool for any beader, regardless of their preferred style or project. The base must spin at a steady pace, but don’t spin it too fast, as spinning it gently seems to be more efficient. And here’s a pro tip – lay a towel underneath the bead spinner to collect spilled beads. HOW DO YOU USE A BEAD SPINNER NEEDLE? While the bowl is turning, dip the tip of the needle inside the bowl near the edge of the beads in motion. This is where it takes practice: holding the needle at an angle that helps the beads feed onto the line. Don’t worry if the beads fly out! With practice you will learn how to control this. Avoid Voltage Fluctuations: In areas with unreliable or fluctuating power supplies, battery-powered spinners provide a consistent and stable power source, ensuring that your work is not interrupted by power outages or voltage fluctuations. What’s great about these spinners is that you can control the speed. If you like to go slow, you can go slow. If you like to go faster, you can do that too. Just don’t go too fast or beads will fly everywhere. You can spin either direction. These spinners fit around 2-3 hanks of size 11/0 seed beads (70-120 grams) in the bowl. I have several spinners in this size.If you're just getting started with a bead spinner, it's important to ensure that you set it up correctly to ensure its smooth functioning. Here's what you need to know: However now it is much easier. Perhaps you’ve heard of a bead spinner or bead stringer? Where string beads in the traditional way can take hours, a bead spinner reduces this to minutes. Again, this is going to be a personal choice. But I recommend going for a wooden bead spinner. I also recommend a larger size. However, if you’ve ever tried this – or watched some else try – for the first time, you may not think this is quite so simple… Two common problems Attach the string: Using a long tail of thread, attach the string to the spindle of the bead spinner. Ensure that the thread is no heavier than the beads, or it may not wrap around the beads adequately.

Be sure to keep the thread taut while spinning to avoid bunching, tangling, or knots that may appear later.Not only do bead spinners save time and effort, but they also provide a smoother and more enjoyable beading experience. They enhance your workflow, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the creative process without getting bogged down by a boring tedious task. BeadSmith Large Bead Loom – This is essentially the same as the loom above, but it’s bigger. Make longer and wider creations with the larger space this loom allows. It also includes threads and seed beads along with basic instructions to get you started. For me, the perfect shape is to create a little hook, like I’ve done in the photo above. This hook doesn’t want to be too big or too small. I can then aim the end of the hook into my flow of beads. Then, when I’ve strung enough beads, as I stop spinning and slide them up the wire, the hook just prevents them from falling off. A bead spinner is a tool that makes bead working faster and more efficient. It normally consists of two main parts: a base (the stand) and an upper chamber (the bowl) which spins. It also includes a needle with a slight curve to the tip. This helps draw up the beads and ensures they flow onto the thread. The Darice company used to produce this one, but it is a generic model now. It seems as though someone – or several someones – acquired the rights to manufacture it, but multiple companies are buying it and put their own name, or no name on the box. That happens a lot with bead spinners, actually, so it’s not surprising or particularly alarming.
