Design Board for Beaded Jewelry

Video Transcript

"This is the bead design board. It's a great tool to have. It helps you to measure out what you need for your bracelets and necklaces. It has little markings here, so for instance if you start here with your clasp, and put your string of beads all the way around to the next seven, that would be a fourteen inch necklace. If you look straight across, it also has a smaller measurement here and also a larger one. So you know exactly how long your necklaces are and your center has a zero mark right here so that would be a nice place if you wanted to put a little center piece on your necklace, you can start here and design going out. This tool's really hand, the design board, because it has little pockets where you can put your extra beads and your extra clasps so you have everything ready for you when you're ready to string your, your necklace up. It's made out of a felt so it does, skid free and you don't have to worry about it, the beads moving around too much. It also is lightweight so it's easy to travel. You can take it with you anywhere and you're able design it and put it on your lap and you're ready to go. "
