Bead Making Holders

Our new bead making holder has been improved in two ways:  (1) the base of the holder remains cool while making beads and (2) two different sizes of interchangeable tapered points allow the bead to be easily removed from the holder when finished.  The small point (TP-1) fits 1/8" dia. tubing and the large point (TP-3) fits 3/16" tubing.
