#beadwork tips

If you do any sort of beadwork but especially if you work with seed beads, I highly recommend getting yourself a paint palette. Specifically, the sort with lots of dips where the paint is supposed to go:

They are incredible useful for keeping the beads organised while you’re working and the shallow dips are easy to get the beads out of when you need them.

I have a couple of different sizes. For a big project involving loads of different types of beads (especially if it includes larger beads), I’d use the big one above, but if I’m doing something smaller that only requires a few different types of beads, I’ve got a smaller palette.
