BeadSmith New Product Update

Perfect Positioner™
At last a fumble-free way to pick up and
position beads and flat-back jewels! This
wonderfully handy tool is truly perfect for
use with beads, especially if you’re creating
inlay bead projects. Among other things, it’s
also great for positioning beads, flat-backs
and stickers on scrapbook pages. Measures
approximately 5" long.
Project samples created with Beadswax®
by artist Cindy Lee
1) Press the tacky end of a Perfect Positioner™ on the top
side of the bead or jewel to pick it up.
2) If needed, apply adhesive to the bottom of the bead or
on the place where it is to be set.
Beadswax®
Beadswax is a high quality,
buttery mixture of beeswax,
pine resin and other
ingredients with the pleasant
smell of honey. Softer than pure beeswax, it
will not dry out and reject the beads over time. It works
perfectly for long lasting inlaid bead art and is very easy to
use. It can be applied to many different art surfaces, as long
as there is sufficient “tooth” to hold the wax and the surface
is not flexible. You may want to try Beadswax on gourd, clay,
wood, or paper maché pieces. Consider making decorative
masks, figurines, bowls or ornaments.
Item #
WAX1
Description
One 2 oz. bar of Beadswax®
3) Set the bead in place and use the pointed
end of the other positioner for any
slight adjustments needed for
exact positioning.
