The Beader's Triangle

Ok...you've finished your project and what a beautiful piece it is too...but now, your two colors of size 11/0 seed beads are all jumbled together...what's a beader to do?  this is where one of my favorite tools takes the spotlight. 

Simple? Yes!, I know...but such a Godsend. This aluminum Triangle Bead Sorting tray makes post project clean up a breeze. 
 
  • Pick up, sort, and pour beads
  • The triangle shape and angled edges allow you use these as clever little bead scoops to chase down errant beads.
  • Sort your beads into different trays while you're working. Bright aluminum lets you see your beads clearly.
  • When you're ready to put your beads away, pour them directly from any corner into small bags, tubes, or compartments.
  • So lightweight they are easy to pack along for beading on the go.
  • Made in India
  • Measurements: Sides are 3 1/4 inches long, edges are 1/4 inch high.

  • Available through most venues where you buy your beading materials.    Here's a link to one option..Beader's Triangle - Beadaholique

    Auntie's Beads offers an alternate option to the beader's triangle...the Bead scooper...Auntie's Beads Scoopeez whether you buy the triangle or the scopper it's a wonderful tool to have in the inventory.
