Many newcomers to the art of French Beaded Flowers have heard how wonderful a bead spinner is and how quickly you can load beads onto wire with a bead spinner. However many still have questions about how to use this wonderful convenience. So I've filmed this quick little clip to show you how it is done. Please keep in mind I was running the camera as well as the bead spinner and the wire, so excuse any faults you find in the clip.

the Beadspinner in action!
It's easiest to use the spinner if you have the bowl nearly full. Bend the wire or needle into a slight curve.Don't dig the wire/needle into the beads, skim along the top. Make sure the wire is pointing towards the beads and that they are spinning towards the tip of the wire/needle. Practise, practise, practise. And finally don't try to use the bead spinner while filming a movie.
