Title: Bead Sizing Tool!

I'm sure somebody asked about how to get consistent bead sizes recently, I can't find the thread, but I did just come across this handy little tool on Etsy!

What will they think of next :o.  If they don't work you could always use them for blowing bubbles ;D

It looks like that game we used to have as kids - try to get the hoop over the bead without setting the alarm off!
