Tulip Bead Reamer

I have been doing a lot of beading on some of my art quilts lately. Sometimes the glass beads are not bored all the way through. Frustrating!

After venting about it one day, Sofia sent me this useful tool from the Japanese company “Tulip.” It is a bead reamer. The sharp pointed tip helps to bore through any plugged beads that were not cleared at time of production.

It helps defuse my frustration and I do not have to throw away any precious beads!
