Please note: I am now selling all of my paper bead making tools and other items from this web site using Paypal payments.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon.

A limited number of paper bead making tools remain available on Etsy but I am not linking to those tools from this site.

Random Quick Tip!

Weaving in Ends
Use a metal yarn needle for weaving in your ends when knitting and crocheting. The needle is sturdy and you can split strands of yarn when you weave your end in and go back and forth with your weaving stitches. This makes the end more secure in your work. Also make sure to weave your end in the back of your work where it will be less noticeable. If weaving in crochet thread ends, use a metal tapestry needle for ease in working with the smaller size of the thread.
