Bead Design Board Great for Bead Stringing, Sorting, Organizing, Aligning Beads, Craft Projects & Craft Enthusiasts. This is a new grey flocked bead design board. Great for craft projects, craft enthusiasts, bead stringing, aligning beads prior to stringing, sorting and organizing. Features 6 compartments and 3 grooves to organize beads. Has 2 grooves that can string up to 16 1/2" (42 cm) and 1 groove that can string up to 35" (89 cm). It measures approximately 13" x 9 1/2" (33 x 24 cm).
It is important to have a layout board like this when designing complex or graduated bead jewelry. This is a good example, with flocking to prevent beads from rolling. It is lap-sized, but large enough for a desk. It is lightweight.
This was a "must have" investment to help design and accurately measure a bead necklace. The non skid surface aids in holding beads in place too. My only complaint would be the product title leads you to believe the board is 35 inches in height which is not the case. It is 13" in height. Of course the product description gives the actual measurements but the title is misleading.
