A Helpful Hint

 

Here's the scoop

I make jewelry on a padded board. After I'm done with a project, I use a clamshell to gather any stray beads. It's easy to scoop up beads by pressing the shell lightly into the board, and the shell's curved shape and narrow edge make quick work of pouring tiny beads back into tubes.
