hobbyworker The Bead Mat with Bead Scoop and Soft Perfect Stable and Individual Grids for Craft Jewelry Making

These mats are great and affordable. The bead scooper is very helpful. i would recommend this product to anyone needing many mats for a beading class.

This bead mat is perfect! It’s soft, light weight & durable, the perfect size to fit on my desk in front of the computer, I can bead away (just love the compartments for different beads) watch a movie or listen to a book while I work.

I like that it separates the beads & makes it easy to work on projects, but OMG don't bump the thing or there will be an explosion of beads all over the place. It's very flimsy, so you need to take care while moving it because the lettered trays aren't that high. Also, due to what it's made out of, when it gets bumped the beads spring out of it like a shotgun blast. I picked it up to carefully move it after using it the first time, beads still in it because the project wasn't finished & although I was trying to be really careful, the corner of it tapped my keyboard & POP! Itty bitty size 11 see beads literally everywhere. I love the concept of this, but I need to find one with higher edges & a solid base so it's easier to move. I mean I can probably cut & glue a piece of cardboard to the bottom of this one, that would fix one of the problems.

I wish it would have had a cardboard backing as this is easily bendable and hard to use as is, however I did cut a piece of cardboard out & attached with glue gun. It’s perfect for my use now!

This little Matt is very helpful and the quality is very nice

I love this little bead mat! Reasonably priced so I can buy more than one. It had a strong smell when I first opened it, but that dissipated soon after. Would definitely buy again and recommend also!

So good and makes it easy to pick up pieces with tools while jewelry making

The idea is a good one, but the actual product could use improvements.If the built in squares on the felt are used to separate the beads, it is really easy for the beads to slip under the felt borders and or over the border onto the main section of the mat.It is just a good to use just a flat piece of foam or felt, without the little square separators.
