Beading Ways!

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to what they use to bead their projects on or on what they sort their beads on. We use something called a lap desk or bean bag table to do our projects on. Its like a little desk that has a solid top and a bean bag bottom and sits on your lap really well. Perfect for beading while your watching tv, or sitting outside on a nice summer day or anywhere, they are that portable. They come in all sizes, shapes and colors. The particular one we use has a zippered pocket on the side so that we can store our scissors, packages of needles, pliers and anything that we might need to bead, it is approximately 19" wide x 15" high and also has a clip to the side of the board perfect for holding our patterns in place or anything that you want to secure to the board. Along the top is an indentation, an excellent place for resting your pens or pencils, needles or anything that you might need to have while your doing a particular project. The one we use and describe above is perfect for all our beading projects and needs but you might decide that you need something larger or smaller, more of a wrap around style or just the board with no clips and pockets. Doing a google search for your area will allow you to find one locally or if you shop on line other stores that offer these as well, a perfect way to see what they look like what is available and to help you decide what you need for your beading style. These are also available through your local craft store, computer store and at some hardware stores as well. ~Happy Beading Everyone~ Jenny and Jan Copyright © 2003-2006 The Bead Shak All Rights Reserved
