Shirt Bead Tool

Abstract

A beading device is disclosed that can be used to assist users when threading beads onto clothing and accessories. The beading device comprises a handle and an elongated wire. The elongated wire is secured to the middle of the handle via threading an end of the wire through a continuous opening in the middle of the handle and then securing the ends of the wire together to form a continuous loop. Beads are then threaded onto the loop of the elongated wire. A user then opens the loop and places a piece of fringe through the wire loop. The user then moves the beads, transferring the beads from the loop of the elongated wire to the fringe. The user then pulls the end of the fringe out from the wire loop and ties a knot in the end.
