Cool as all get out. I've thought about getting a bead spinner, but I wouldn't use it a lot, so this is a godsend. Thank you so much!

You are the MacGiver of beading...brilliant in it's simplicity. I'm going to go bang my head for all of the countless hours of stringing seed beads unnecessarily painfully.

thank you very much for the great idea:)

thank you so much for this tutorial. you just saved me 20.00 i can now use to buy more beads yeah!!!

Simply brilliant! Thank-you soooooo much!

Wow, this could not have come at a better time! I've been wanting a bead spinner, and I just used the last bit of tiger tail on the spool. I always have those plastic cups handy (two-year old in the house). I dont have chop sticks, but I do have some bamboo skewers or drink stirs I believe will work. Thank you so much for this wonderful, money saving, eco-friendly idea!
