For Christmas I received a gift from my sister that was a presented in this nice wooden box. My sister paints and some of her paints had occupied this box at one time. Loved the gift and loved the box.
I hit upon the idea of making THE ideal bead bed. I cut out a piece of card stock the size of the inside of the box. I used double stick tape around the edges and cut a piece of black velvet and secured it with the tape on the back side. I pushed it into the inside of the box and it fit perfectly. I hot glued a quilter's clip to the inside lid and a needle minder sissy had given me.
I can put a note with which design the beads belong to, as this one is Snowflower Lace. On the needle minder I have several beading needles for quick retrieval. The results are perfection. The beads are easier to pick up on the velvet and I have everything at my beading pleasure finger tips.
How I love my homemade tools! Happiness is indeed homemade.
