The recent threads about home made tying tools get me thinking about tools for bead handling. In particular, the process where you try pick up a bead and threaded it onto the hook (but end up dropping the bead, having it bounce off the desk, and get lost somewhere on the floor). I know there's a commercial tool for this, but I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a creative, simple home made solution. I'd love to hear some great ideas for this.
