Beading Tool Ideas

Elaine sent me this great money saving tip.

Have you seen the beading tool that looks like a little spring and is used to hold your strands while you work.  My tip is not to spend the money on this tool, but to make them yourself for a fraction of the cost.  Buy a couple of three inch springs from a hardware store and cut into two or three sections, turn then ends out and you have your own tool.
