It may be extremely irritating when working on a project if your beads get mixed up. Bead mats helps stop these small things running almost everywhere and is very useful in moving your work from one location to the other with minimal disruption.

3)Jewellery Pliers

You will have to use certain pliers while working with beads. Pliers which you would utilize for DIY jobs around the house are very likely gonna be to big and bulky. It is simpler to use jewelry pliers. A round nose pliers are used to make loops and spirals while a flat nose pliers used for gripping and crimping. Beware of those with serrated edges because they can damage your work.

4) Wire Cutters

The other equipment you'll use very often is a wire cutter. You must never use the scissors to cut wire because you will damage the scissors. If you intend to make use of memory wire you'll have to buy a specific kind of wire cutter for use with your beadwork.
