silica gel

It is likely only if there are only beads of those colors Hope my answer was helpful ;)
Finals week, eh? I have the same question in my review packet. It gives less clean air and there is more pollution. (:
I believe Swarovski makes some charms and beads that fit those, they are so pretty!
depends on how big those beads are and how you want to put them together If you want to use just those beads to make up a necklace then maybe 2-3 but again its all depending on the size of the beads. If you put seedbeads in between then you can make them stretch and make 10 or so necklaces.. Can you give more info on the size in mm of the beads.
my daughter says it is Bizu
normally, it's just if the beads have been dyed on the strand or off. if its on a white strand, it means that the beads have been coloured idividually, but if they are on a coloured strand, it means that they have been coloured togeather, on that strand.

There are a few bead supply stores located in Los Angeles. I have listed some of those stores and their phone numbers for you: Berger Beads Specialty Co. (213) 627-8783, Beads & Trims (213) 689-1000, Bohemian Crystal (213) 627-9554, Beads U Need (213) 622-9821 and Beads Factory (213) 624-2121. Beads and Trims has a good selection of beads of other crafting materials. They're at 741 Maple Avenue in LA. If they don't have what you need, I use JewelrySupply.com, they have a big selection and ship fast.
After you have finished braiding the section of the hair strands,you put your hair through the bead and push it up further enough where you see hair hanging and take one of those small rubber bands and wrap it around where the bead stays on.
You can use clear epoxy.
There are many varieties of beads, and size matters when buying a strand. If the bead is particularly small, like a seed bead, there are usually 100 or more on a strand. If they are a bigger bead,you can expect to get anywhere from 8 - 23 on a strand. Of course, this all depends on the seller,and if they make the beads themselves. Lampwork beads are on the more expensive side, like I bought some handmade glassblown lampwork Christmas Tree beads at a bead show. They were about an inch long in height and I got 7 on a strand for $6. This is about a $1.20 per bead. I hope my info was helpful, have a fun time beading! In the UK, seed beads come in tubes and bags and the bead seller should have a list handy to say how many beads are in a particular tube or bag. In the bead shop where I work, the 10grm tubes of size 11 seed beads have approximately 1,000 beads in them, the bags of 100 grams have approx 10.000 in them.
....very carefully. :) I'm presuming you want to *make* this beaded sweater, not clean out the beads while they are on the sweater without removing the beads. There are such things as bead reamers, which you can either those usable by hand, or the type you plug into a rotary tool. For big projects like this, I normally suggest going the rotary route, because it sounds like you want to clean out LOTS of beads. However, those bugle beads are mighty delicate, and a tool like that could shatter them. So... try using a thin bead reamer by hand. OR... I think those things are filled with plaster, (IF the filler is white and brittle) so try soaking them in water for a couple of hours and using a really tiny pipe cleaner. If a few hours doesn't work, try over night. If you live in the USA, you can find really small pipe cleaners oddly enough in the dental department of a good pharmacy. Oral B sells some that are sold to be used for dental hygiene, but we don't have to tell them that. Further, if you have a water pik, (another dental tool!) you can use that after letting them soak to try to get the gunk out. Or, you could try one of those soaking sonic cleaners they use for jewelry. I haven't tried this... it shouldn't hurt your cleaner to try. For any of these solutions, try with a small number of beads that you can replace if you find that things go wrong. Always helps to save work by being conservative at first. I hope one of these things helps you. Good luck!
