How To Bead In A Car

How To Bead In A Car

If we’re to cope with our beading addiction, we may have to figure out, at least part of the way, how to bead in a car. We’re not talking water beading on the car when it gets wet. We are talking about taking beads and stringing material and clasps and all those other little pieces, and making jewelry, while traveling in a car. As the passenger. Not the driver. Or, I think not the driver. Addictions can be very powerful.

So, this all begs the question: How DO you bead in a car?

Most people say, “Don’t!”

Or, “Only if the light is Red!”

But others say it is possible under certain circumstances.

Bonnie’s Advice:

Put two pillows on your lap, and wedge them between you and the dash board, to create a type of table and shock absorber.

Use a “lap desk” that has ridges around it. Lay fleece on it.

If also using dishes or containers, put fleece in each one, as well. The fleece “holds the beads”. Regular material does not work.

The pillows absorb a lot of the bumps.

Don’t put too many beads out at a time.

For bead stringing, use long bracelet gift boxes, or something with a deep groove in it.
