Question 1

Newbie.  Does the lid at least stay on enough to keep dust out while working on a project?  We live in an incredibly dusty area....Thanks so much!!

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will. In fact, it's a teensy bit hard to get off, so be careful not to spill when you open it. The lid covers the edges of the board completely; that is, it goes over the top and down half an inch on all four sides. Your work should be dust-free when you get back to it. Have fun, newbie!

Question 2

Is the tray rigid enough to work with it on your lap? Advance thanks!

Accepted Answer

It is rigid enough, but I think the size might make it difficult to use on your lap without spilling. You might think about getting a thin board of the size you want to help keep the tray steady.

Question 3

I use very small 4mm beads. Are the grooves shallow enough that I can lay out my design and easily pick up the beads?

Accepted Answer

Kara, Yes you can use this beading board with 4mm beads. I have made beautiful designs on this beading board with all sizes of beads. Best of luck.

Question 4

Does this come with instructions for making necklaces ?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not come with instructions for making beads. There are a lot of really fine books out there for not only making the beads themselves but for making necklaces and earrings. They're also a lot of companies that sell beads pre-made. They also will have books of instructions many of them. This device the relay helps and making any necklace. It holds the beads in place they don't roll around on the table top, and you can easily see whether or not they're symmetrical if that's the way you want to make it. I've had one of these devices in the past I've actually worn it out. But it was also about 40 or 50 years old. I decided I deserved a new one they're wonderful.
