User questions & answers

Question:	can you create a loop up tight against a bead already on wire/ head pin
Answer:	Honestly... sometimes and sometimes not, but I'm very new to this craft. It could just be me... It works perfect every time without the beads for me.
Question:	What size loop do these pliers make
Answer:	The 'BIG' Looper makes loops of approximately 3mm. The other model just says 1-Step Looper and makes loops ID of about 1.4 ID. I GOT THE 'big' looper and I love it - I think I'm going to buy the model that makes the smaller loop as well.
Question:	will this be durable enough for stainless steel artistic wire gauges 20, 22 & 24? these are the specific wires that i use. thanks
Answer:	I use them with Stainless 21 gauge, so I don't think these others will be a problem.
Question:	No matter what I do my tool won't close the loop. It still leaves a bit of it open and my tiny beads will fall right off. Help
Answer:	The opening is so that you can attach your loop to something else. It saves wear and tear on the wire not to open it and then close it again.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with instructions for making necklaces
Answer:	If you have one of the new MOLLE entrenching tool covers with the adjustable strap it will work. I use one of the new MOLLE covers and it fits like a champ.
Question:	I use very small 4mm beads. Are the grooves shallow enough that I can lay out my design and easily pick up the beads
Answer:	not sure why it's silver unless it's the light shining on it making it look like it's silver. When I purchased mine it came black, and the plastic(glock pistol material) handle is molded in black.
Question:	Is the tray rigid enough to work with it on your lap? Advance thanks
Answer:	folded down is 10 1/4" and extended is 25 1/4" . hope that helps. the shovel scoop alone is 8 1/4"L X 6 1/4"W.
Question:	Newbie. Does the lid at least stay on enough to keep dust out while working on a project? We live in an incredibly dusty area....Thanks so much
Answer:	Yes, it is made in Austria-- it is a very fine shovel; we used it for backpacking with a baby (burying compostable diapers); I've also used it for digging temporary fire pits, chopping ice, etc. The saw works great too...

User questions & answers

Question:	Do these pliers have a smooth or textured surface inside the points; if not, what plier would have that
Answer:	These pliers have smooth jaws, so they don't mark softer metals when used.
Question:	Where are they made? China
Answer:	They are really nice to use for jewelry making, thinking about purchasing a new pair.
Question:	How long are the jaws, the part that grabs the item being worked on
Answer:	The jaws are a little less than one inch and the entire tool is only 41/2 inched long. They ended up being much smaller than I expected. They would be great for a child or someone with small hands. I don't have large hands and the entire tool fits in the palm of my hand. They have a nice spring action open and close. They also have no teeth inside the jaws which helps to not mar jewelry especially when coated. Other than that it's actually a nice strong set of pliers. I hope this helps.
Question:	I'm looking for needle nose pliers that don't have the ridges as they leave marks on the metal. Are there smooth ones out there
Answer:	Absolutely I'm looking at one right now cause I had the exact pair a year ago and lost them. This is a great price too. No mark's or damage to your jewelry piece or wire you work with.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where are the hooks that actually are made for going through your ears
Answer:	No, it does not come with instructions for making beads. There are a lot of really fine books out there for not only making the beads themselves but for making necklaces and earrings. They're also a lot of companies that sell beads pre-made. They also will have books of instructions many of them. This device the relay helps and making any necklace. It holds the beads in place they don't roll around on the table top, and you can easily see whether or not they're symmetrical if that's the way you want to make it. I've had one of these devices in the past I've actually worn it out. But it was also about 40 or 50 years old. I decided I deserved a new one they're wonderful.
Question:	What size soft flex beading wire does this work with
Answer:	Kara, Yes you can use this beading board with 4mm beads. I have made beautiful designs on this beading board with all sizes of beads. Best of luck.
Question:	Have just started beading and don't know a lot about any of it.for a 2mm crimp tube what size crimp cover do i need
Answer:	It is rigid enough, but I think the size might make it difficult to use on your lap without spilling. You might think about getting a thin board of the size you want to help keep the tray steady.
Question:	What tool do I use to crimp these? (I don't have any so I will need to buy one) thanks
Answer:	Yes, it will. In fact, it's a teensy bit hard to get off, so be careful not to spill when you open it. The lid covers the edges of the board completely; that is, it goes over the top and down half an inch on all four sides. Your work should be dust-free when you get back to it. Have fun, newbie!

User questions & answers

Question:	What material is on the handles

Answer:	I contacted the distributor, Beadsmith, about this, and here are the measurements they provided on 08/05/20: - 2.26 mm - 3.37 mm - 4.31 mm - 5.21 mm - 7.31 mm - 9.32 mm

Answer:	I can use these pliers on any gauge wire, including 28 gauge. This is the best pair of pliers I've ever owned. I have all 6 of the Wubbers round bail making pliers, but I use these almost exclusively. They close down tight, I guess I would say there's no gap.
Question:	Hi. Which country is it made in? Thanks

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this to weave without beads? (ie. just weaving with embroidery floss or yarn
Answer:	It is so small, so sticky, hard to get beads off it, prefer a mat
Question:	what size beads come with this loom
Answer:	I’m really not sure , but I know it’s a rubber mat, and it’s a sticky texture... works very well holds beads and lil trays so you can tilt project without spills
Question:	does it come with needle
Answer:	Yes, it is equally sticky on both sides. It firmly adheres to the laminate-covered table that I use. When you first get the mat, there is a piece of plastic film covering each side. Leave the bottom one on, if you want to move the mat around a lot. Store with both sides covered.
Question:	How wide a finished item can this loom produce
Answer:	It is tiny - more like 3.25 x 5.5. I absolutely love it though for holding beads. It's sticky so you can dump your beads on it and easily pick them up. You don't want to dump too much though so that they aren't evenly spread because the top ones will fall off but I put it back in the plastic and carry it with me and don't lose beads. I've purchased 2 for myself and 2 for friends. It's a great product but it is small (I like that though). it is NOT 8.5 x 11 unless there is a larger one out there which might be nice.

User questions & answers

Question:	When I make loops by hand there is no space between the loop and the top of the bead (no slop). Does this tool do this
Answer:	Sort of. You'll probably have trouble getting a consistent, tight weave, and of course it doesn't include the tools one typically needs to weave thread/yarn into fabric.
Question:	what size loop do these create 1.5 or 3.0 or
Answer:	I don't remember exactly, but they were probably around a size 10. They were nothing special, and I actually didn't use them. It is a small bag of mixed colors of opaque beads. They would be good for a beginner who needs to practice on the loom. I have purchased seed beads #10 mostly and sometimes #11 and prefer to work with them. I make bracelets which I glue onto leather bands, attached a snap set and then sew on a watch face. They are really lovely, and I've had many compliments on them.
Question:	can you make it so that the tool does not cut off your excess wire ? can the excess wire be left in place and trimmed to length with nippers
Answer:	Came with 2 needles
Question:	What size are the loops it makes
Answer:	About two inches.

User questions & answers

Question:	What thickness is this cord? is it 1mm, or is it less? they don't say in the description, only the length of it
Answer:	Yes it does. BUT you have to adjust the loop a bit. I found I do a better job and faster by doing it myself.
Question:	Will this fit a 3mm bead? Once or twice
Answer:	Create your own eye pins with the 1-step looper plier frThis tool allows you to trim and loop readYou can even create eye pins in one motion! It bends and trims wire between 26 and 18 gauge in thickness. The looper will create a 1.5mm loop on wire 20 gauge or thicker, but it will leave a slight gap in the loop when using gauges thinner than 20 gauge. The 1-step looper is the perfect way to create professional-looking jewelry in no time! I love mine
Question:	is this clear or white
Answer:	The cutter trims the excess automatically. You would have to modify the tool to change that.
Question:	I have used "other" stretch cords and they disintegrated after a year or so. I want my creations to last. Will this work for a longer period of time
Answer:	Very small loops - maybe 3mm. I am not happy with this tool at all. Loops are too small for my needs. About 1/3 of the time, it doesn't cut the wire. Also, the loop is not completely closed so you still have to use pliers. I am much happier with my 'groovy' pliers from Wolf Tools - one jaw is round and one is like chain plier except with 3 grooves to make 3 different sizes of loops.

About Us

The Beadaholique story started with a shoebox tucked under a bed in Sarah Diamond’s Santa Monica apartment. It was 1999. Over the course of a year that tiny shoebox became a file cabinet.

The file cabinet became the spare room, and soon the entire apartment. We hired more friends and then bought a house which ultimately couldn’t accommodate our growth after only a few more fast paced years.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the tray have fabric so the beads don’t roll
Answer:	Cord appears to be 1mm wide and 0.5mm thick
Question:	Does the cover close securely
Answer:	Yes, you could probably use a double piece of the stretch cord in making your jewelry item. I have done that on many occasions especially if the beads were larger and I wanted to be sure the item held up.
Question:	Can you string the beads while they are in the tray
Answer:	I would say more white rather than clear, as compared to Stretch Magic. When stretched, Opelon still looks white, whereas the other product shows colour through it.
Question:	What are the dimensions of this item
Answer:	I have not used this over a year but from what I have read it will last. It is not like other stretch cords . It is a very fibrous cord and I cannot imagine it disintegrating especially if you double strand your projects.

User questions & answers

Question:	What kind of thread do you use with this
Answer:	It has a felt type of material but I think beads still can roll. The sides of the walls are fairly high though.
Question:	Is it worth purchasing or should I make my own
Answer:	Yes it does as long as you don't put too large of beads for it to close properly. I've had no problems with it staying secure. That being said, I've never dropped it or anything. I really enjoy this Bracelet board!
Question:	Is this board "foam
Answer:	Yes, I can string while I have different beads in each of the different sections.
Question:	Can you make dog leashes out of paracord with this disk
Answer:	It's about 10 1/2" wide and 7" tall. I use it for bracelets and earrings. I have a larger board for necklaces.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do you get the wire off the spool? Tried pulling thru opening but that doesn't work
Answer:	I found this handy to use. No tegrets in purchasing.
Question:	So is this plastic/nylon coated wire or not? The main description states it is but the detailed section does not. If so, is it a clear coat
Answer:	It is more of a dense material. It gently treats your beads and gems. Yes it is foam, but a good sturdy one.
Question:	Is this clear? And dose it bend like normal wire
Answer:	I have never used paracord, but I know that it is quite a bit thicker than the usual threads you use with the disk. Using the paracord will cause the opening around the edge of the disk to warp or distort and become usable to hold the cord under consistent tension. Paracord could be used for a dog leash, but you will have to find something else to hold your cord while you weave the design. Perhaps a spool knitter adapted with wider spaces between the pegs/pins/holder around the edge of the "disk" with a larger center hole to allow the cord to pass through.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would two pairs of these be good for opening and closing jump rings
Answer:	I do the same as Susan Crossley. Make certain you are starting with the outside end then just move the guard so that end comes through the opening in the guard and pull gently against the edge of the guard opening. The guard will move around the spool as you pull wire off. Your wire will unspool neatly allowing you to pull out just what you need while keeping the rest of the wire securely wound around the spool.
Question:	can i use this on half hard or medium temper 18 - 20 gauge wire
Answer:	I believe it would be concerned clear.
Question:	Can I roll a loop on a 22g gold wire with these. About a 2 or 3mm loop
Answer:	It's not clear and it works and looks exactly like normal beading wire
Question:	are there any health warnings on packaging
Answer:	I use 1/8 inch ribbon found on spools in many colors and only cost about 50 cents
