Glass beads issue

I bought the 20-30 size glass beads from abrasive armory labeled for reborn dolls like I always do but this time it’s just flying right through the nylon even when it’s tied 6 times, what is going on? Is it just the top of this one bag or something?
Has anyone had this happen? I always buy the same thing and also noticed a price increase as well as this happened.

Try sewing a fabric pouch and see if that holds them. I only ever buy beads from reborning stores so I don’t know anything about the sizes or brands. I hope you find a solution and can use up the stuff you bought.

That is a good idea thank you! And yes now I think I will switch suppliers.

They had stopped selling size 3 completely but brought it back. Mine are the right size that I bought in June.
Are your nylons different? I use thick children’s stockings and double or triple them.
Actually now that I am thinking about it more I do remember some seeping out while I weighed the pouch… but not a lot.

You could also try putting them inside of a vinyl glove and then placing that in a thick stocking. That way it’s more secure just in case of leaks.

I bought these last month, it’s the same ones I have been buying for the longest time but this time they seem different. I like that idea of the sock and the glove! Thank you!

I just got them, and they don’t leak out of a trouser stocking

I bought some and love them! I only need one instead of two or three!

Sounds like they may have changed their supplier. :unamused:

Try using thick tights. They usually hold the finer beads.

Those are the only ones I buy. I tried to find different ones locally, but find the trouser socks are the best

Sometimes I can get two bags from one stocking…I just stitch up the end
