Discounted price on lots of (6) 12/packs of Bead Spinner Replacement Needles.For your convenience, we offer our bead spinner replacement needles in sets of one dozen (12) color coded by size assortments, packaged in a convenient storage tube. (Colors may vary.)
Ours are NOT the traditional ‘J’ shaped steel needles some may be familiar with, as the cost is $3-6 for ONE (1) needle, plus shipping.
Our bead spinner replacement needles are machine made of tightly twisted wire, approximately 5-inches in length in various gauges, i.e. thicknesses. They have a "soft, collapsible eye.”
The eye of these needles will (and MUST) collapse as you slide the beads from the wire needle onto whatever medium you are stringing your beads onto.
The needles are re-useable. Simply re-open the closed eye with a straight pin or similar tool.
I personally do NOT use, teach or demonstrate the bead spinning technique where the needle is bent into the hooked “J” shape. Quite frankly, this does NOT work for me at all and also caused much frustration among the students in my beading classes.
Rather, I simply snip the needle at a sharp angle, spin the beads with the needle at a slight angle – lightly skimming the surface of the moving beads.
