Random Quick Tip!

Keep All Beads From Rolling Away
If you have a fleece bead cloth, use that to keep your beads from rolling away but if you don't have one, you can use a terry wash cloth, a piece of velour or velvet fabric or some other piece of fabric that has a fuzzy knap to it for the same purpose.
