You are very welcome Jenny.

[@AndreaCrisp]

Wow! This is very cool. I just ordered a hand beading tool, but I will definitely be making this as I was thinking about buying the plastic 4M paper beading tool kit for my granddaughter. This is so much better! I can see using different gage wire for different size beads etc. And maybe more holes to hold beads while they dry. I may use a large metal coffee can instead... But you've definitely gotten my gears turning! I also want to say that you did a stand out job explaining & showing everything. Simple and detailed. Thank you so much for your idea!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks so much for your wonderful feedback Andrea. Have fun with the beads.

[@anniewright6358]

What an ingenious idea. I’ve just ordered a tool for rolling beads. What a waste on my part, your idea will be just as good, if not better

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks Annie: I'm sure your new tool will be very helpful. Have fun making the paper beads!

[@StizelSwik]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! I'm seeing this 8 years after posting. ... just to let you know.

What a Nice and easy to make tool. Ty for showing it.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks so much!

[@leahcrossley6756]

So….I bent the wire and used binder clips to fix it to a cardboard box. It left me a perfect little spot to keep my glue. My 2 and 3 year old grandchildren took turns cranking and we made about a hundred beads after dinner last night. Wow!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Nice Leah.

[@StizelSwik]

aren't grandkids wonderful?! lol

[@teresamilner9179]

Heather, you are a genius! I’ve just recently gotten interested in paper beads but haven’t tried making them yet. I looked at the bead rolling machines on Amazon and they were very expensive. I’ve been watching KZbin videos and collecting papers to get started. Thank you for this fabulous idea.🌻🌹💕

Wow, awesome!! This is the best DIY crafters invention ever!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thank you for the great feedback! :)

[@459yop]

Thank you so much for the video!!! I was a click away from ordering a bead machine on Amazon when I thought I'd see if there were instructions on KZbin. The crank instructions were fantastic! I modified your design a bit and used a vegetable can with added weights in the bottom so it stands still while I crank. I used my Crop-A-Dile to make the holes for the crank. It has enough room to put my inverted glue bottle inside. I'm literally making beads 5 times faster!!! Thanks again, you are a craft diva!

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hey Deborah: Thanks so much for your awesome feedback. Love your ingenuity. Happy crafting. Heather

[@kimipelimc]

Hi Heather... Very Cool. I can’t wait to try this technique...:)

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Awesome. Please share pics if you make them. You can share in my Facebook group or email to [e-mail] THANK YOU!

[@LadyZombieKiller]

Thank your for that great idea! I made a modified version. I put a bag of rocks inside the contain and hot glued the lid on. Turned it upside down and use a drill to make the holes for the crank. The rocks work better for me as my table top and tape do not get along. Thanks again.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Hi Karen: That is an amazing idea with the rocks! Thanks so much for letting me know! I'll add it to the video description! Heather.

[@melodyengland4439]

Wow, thanks, but exactly how well did this work, with the container upside down?, Please respond, thanks.

I love your ingenuity. We are a lot alike, if you need a machine, just make it out of what you have in the house. I make my own fabric rolls to make crocheting and weaving go very smoothly. I used a cardboard box and a few pieces of PVC to make my rolling machine. I get perfect fabric rolls quickly and easily.

Hello, i did write on here awhile ago, but although i did make one of these with rocks & sand, i now found a much better way to make it to stay in place, i used cement slightly watered down, then i put it in the container about 3 quarters full.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Just seeing this now. Thank you!

[@melodyengland4439]

Wow thanks this great idea, Well i'm going to give this inventive contraption a try, i do hope that it'll work, i've been wanting to be able to make wider beads than what i can make with my small bead winding tools also hopefully this will speed up my bead making & be less wrist turning. OK, i filled the plastic container with soil & 2 heavy rocks, i must say that this does work quite well, although it does move a bit, but i'm still able to make tons of beads & it surely beats having to shell out $26.00 & $6.25 for S&H & tax, so i'm happy thanks a bunch.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks Melody. The beads wind up quite tightly. I put the pot upside down so the bottom sits flat on the table! You can probably try some other ways too!

[@melodyengland4439]

@@HeatherBoydWire Thanks for the reply, but in your video here you show the plastic container right side up, what do you mean by having it upside down? I haven't yet tried doing the container this way.

Very clever! Creative use of household things! I would turn the tray over and cut on the backside. That way you won't bend that beautiful metal ruler. I've seen rulers that were "swaybacked" from bending them. Wouldn't want that to happen to yours.

[@updownstate]

Excellent winder design. The best things are the ones that don't cost a dime. Do the beads hold their shape well and not get worn at the edges? Thank you.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

Thanks so much Diane. You can put a thicker lacquer on the beads so they are more stable.for necklaces. For earrings they probably are fine with regular varnish. Let me know if you make some!

[@updownstate]

@@HeatherBoydWire T y. Can I use an additional coat of the original lacquer? If not what do you recommend? Thank you for your help.

[@HeatherBoydWire]

I use this one:: amzn.to/2HRjnsM You can get resin that you mix like epoxy which is very strong and would be more water resistant. For ordinary wear I think the one I use is fine!
