Simply add beads to the bowl and give it a spin. After threading the included wire needle with string, hold the angled part of the needle inside the bowl, and let gravity and friction do all the work for you. Make sure to spin the bowl in the opposite direction the needle end points. Beads will jump onto the needle in a row. Be careful they don’t fall off the other end. Once they load onto the bead hook, simply slide them off onto string, wire, or wherever else you’d like beads.

This spinner works great for many beads of the same color in a row. You can also use it to make crafts with multiple colors of beads, as long as you don’t need any specific pattern. Switch out the beads inside the tumbler to get multiple of the same color all in a row.

Make sure the beads you get will fit onto the included needle or get a set with multiple sizes. Otherwise it won’t work. But once you get all the kinks worked out, kids and adults alike will enjoy watching beads hop on like magic, and it makes crafting much faster and easier.
