Today's Simple Tip

An easy idea for a bead tray for designing and making beaded items is the black Styrofoam trays that meat comes in. Safeway's meat trays have rows of square individual depressions that hold the beads in place. You can use pins on it, or if I have not finished a bracelet and don't have it crimped yet, I staple each end down on the edges of the tray until I'm ready to start again. Cut holes in it to hold top drilled items while gluing in a bail.

Topics: Glues and Adhesives, Metal

I make rosaries with 8mm filigree silver bead caps with Czech glass beads. I have glued the bead cap onto the Czech 8mm bead so that it doesn't move apart when being handled in prayer. What type of adhesives are correct for this application?
