Category: Other Tools
If you haven’t already read the introduction to the beading supplies section, then this category may confuse you. What are other tools?
Well, I’ve got a section that looks at the tools you will need for bead weaving projects. I also have a section that looks at pliers. You would typically use these for wirework or jewellery making projects.

Now, this isn’t comprehensive (yet!). So, if you want to know about something that I haven’t covered here, just use this link to leave a question. I will then try and put together a post to answer you as soon as I can.
If you sell, or have developed, you own beading tools, then I’m happy to feature them. Maybe you would like to write a guest blog to explain what you have to offer? If so, just get in touch and we can sort that out.
