Beading Board
Darice Large 3-Channel Flocked Bead Board
Amazon Price: $4.09 (as of 06/01/2012)
The bead board, while not absolutely necessary, can make your life much easier. It has at least one channel (sometimes more) around the outside edge so that you can set up your beads in a pleasing pattern before stringing. Most bead boards will also have a few wells in the middle to store beads.
The board shown here has multiple channels for multi-strand necklaces and bracelets.
Select your beads and play with them until you find a pleasing design. String your beads (using string or wire), allowing 1 inch extra string or wire for clasp.
===============================
Product description:The Bead Board is designed with three channels located along the outside of the board to use for design preparation and bead placement. It also offers storage compartment for easy access for jewelry findings, beading needles, thread and separating bead styles, colors and sizes for placement. Make multi-strand necklaces up to forty-two inches in length. Bracelets may be made up to nine inches in length.
