Hi this is Megan with beadaholique.com
today I'm going to show you how to use the new Beadalon spool tamer wire
dispensers
and these are really handy and very easy to use
They come in a pack of 3. So I've got three different
products here. I've got some Beadalon beading wire, some
artistic wire and some wildfire thread because while it
says it's for wire it's also a really handy for thread. I'm just gonna show you real
quick
what this does. The Beadalon wire does come
with this little plastic piece here to hold the wire on but
if you lose that or if you have a spool of wire that doesn't come with that
this is really handy. So I'm just going to take the end of your
wire and put it through the hole
on your spool tamer from the inside
and then you're just going to slide the spool tamer,
it's elastic. So just slide right over and it's gonna hold everything in place really
well
and you can just pull your wire out. Another
really fun little thing they did here is they added this little tab
and what the tab does is you can grab the tab
and it very easily feed out my wire
and then if you've got extra wire coming out, if you
just go the other way, go counter clockwise it's going to
wrap your wire up all nice and tidy
for next time. So it works just as well
on the thread which me I'm a big
bead weavers. So I really love how easy it is
to deal with your thread when you've got one of these on there
I'll definitely need to get some ideas for myself
again it's gonna just
help you keep it all neat and
tidy and on these
spools it's just going clockwise, just go the way
that it feeds in and you can cinch your thread back up
so it's really great and I just wanna show you how
to make them smaller. They are adjustable. You can use them with
pretty much any spool size. So I have a little tiny artistic wire spool
and all I'm gonna do is adjust
the elastic part are little buckles
you wanna just make it
fit right around
your spool. Take the end of
your wire and if you've dealt with wire you'll know that if you let
that go its gonna kinda go
and expand. This is a really
handy tool if your wanting to avoid that
just
put that right around the end of your spool
and you can use it on the smaller spool just as easily
and you can either trim these off if you want to permanently use it for a smaller
spool or you can leave them on there. It'll allow you
to keep it adjustable to go back to a larger spool
and even with a thicker wire it's gonna pull it right in when you
use the little tab. So those are the Beadalon spool tamers
They're a really really great new product.
