BeadalonBead Mat Tacky 4.25-Inch-by-4.25-Inch,Blue

This product works great for holding beads, especially when attaching them to embroidery. It is small, but I like that I can hold it and my hoop together making the bead work go faster. It really holds the beads, I haven't lost one yet.

It’s got incredible tackiness that isn’t the key this one. on It makes the transfer on the beads very smooth when going from hand- beads then Beads- destination.

As others have stated, this is pretty small but if you work with seed beads it is very useful. It keeps little tiny beads from rolling away.

This little mat works perfectly. The beads stick to it nicely, but release when you want to pick up them up. I use an old CD case to store the mat with beads when I’m not working on my project. Very useful-

As this was my first attempt at embroidery beading, my clumsiness might be at fault. After spilling beads all over the place, I purchased two of these. They keep the beads on the mat very well. However, the seed beads don't roll over onto the needle, as they do in a shallow dish. The larger bugle beads won't let go easily, and I end up flinging some into space. I find myself turning the mat around to get the right angle to put the needle through the beads, because the beads won't budge.The medium sized beads (pearls) seemed to work well if I bent the mat slightly, as I lifted them with the needle. I did mix up some pearl sizes and was able to line them up on the mat, which made it easy to pick out the bigger ones. I'll work on my technique and keep using the mats, until I get better at picking them up.

I just began making jewelry items and soon began to realize unless I bought a mat I would be spending all of my time picking beads,etc. off the floor. There were several different types and didn't know which one to buy. After reading the reviews I opted for this one. Oh so glad I did. I like the jell like quality of it. Boy once your beads are on this they aint moving. Very secure mat for things you don't want to lose. I ordered two. What is nice is the fact that they are washable. When hair lint etc. gets on them all you do is run water on them and presto like new. Dry in no time flat. Will order more when needed.

Perfect for what I need. It holds the beads AMAZING! It does pick up lint and dog hair pretty easily but rinsing under cold water and letting it dry resets it.I got the blue color (not sure if there are lots of options) but it isn't super sheer. But still able to see the beads clearly.

This is a little too sticky for me, I use miyuki delicas 11/0 and beads go flying off the needle when I try to pry them off the mat. I'm hoping with use it will get a little less sticky but not sure that's going to happen. I do like that it keeps the beads neat and in place and you can keep colours separated by making little piles all over the mat.

Great little beading May for travel.

This is one of the most useful bits of kit I have (and I have a lot). The beads and small components stay exactly where they are, but are in no way 'stuck' to the mat, they are easy to pick up with your needle ect. I am so impressed I intend to buy another. I would love a larger one if one is mad?, that way I could put all my project beads out to be able to move between beads without having to decant a few at a time.Great item. Any beader or jewellery maker NEEDS at least one of these mats.The seller delivered it promptly and I would buy from again.

Purchased for my wife. Very tacky. So tacky her nails stick to it when trying to grab those tiny beads.

Love it!
