I have just spilled 28gr of size 9 seed beads all over my craft room.
Managed to get them onto a dust pan, how in heavens name can I get rid of the debris to retrieve the beads?
(animal hair, dust and the like)

[sherrardk]

Put them in a sieve and run them under a tap?

[ferlew]

I'll give that a go, ta.

[ferlew]

OK, that's the fine dust and sand gone, (I didn't try the water - just the colander) now for the animal hair. :(

If you put them in a bowl of water, would the hair not float to the surface? Then you could drain off the water and retrieve the beads.

[ferlew]

Ok, putting the tweezers down and going for a bowl of water.
Thanks.

You need to hoover more often, ferlew. :-)

Ooo Tilly, thems fighting words !!

Phone Dyson and ask if he can come up with a bead separator accessory.....

[Tilly2]

I know. That was very rude of me. I am sorry, ferlew.

[DTCwordfan]

Harsh but fair, I would surmise, tills.......

[Tilly2]

As always, DTC, as always.

treat yourself to a Dyson hand held vaccum for pet hairs they are marvellous.

[ferlew]

Giggling out loud at Tilly.
No offense taken.
I just thank goodness I don't have a carpet in here.
Got em all thanks.

DTC, I don't have a Dyson, however I do have a Kirby G7, on a long loan to son.
That actually DOES have a little chamber for gathering small objects.

[Tilly2]

Thanks ferlew. Whew!

[ferlew]

Deesa, I do sweep through every day on my hard floors, and I do have a pet hair vac for my carpets.
I must say, going to hard floors in the heavy traffic areas, has been an eye opener. The amount of grit etc I get up daily, would be ruining a carpet I imagine. I think a lot of it is from the paved drive.
Anyway, it's easier to get a brush and pan out than a vac.

[tonyav]

Got of light there, yilly lol.

[Tilly2]

I did, Yont. Thought I was in for a carpet beating.
