Thread: Neat find at Joann's for measuring stones/bead sizes

I'm sure this is nothing new to many of you but I am EXCITED! I had (lost now) a little card I had purchased at a bead shop that had some sizing shadows to gauge things like beads/stones etc. Other than that I just tried to use my straight ruler to figure out the size of things. Today while looking for some glass pearls for a fellow Bhuzzer I ran across the "Crafting Expressions" Plastic Caliper. It would be much more durable in metal but it makes things so easy to measure. I can feel confidant that I'm ordering the correct size for things now. It was very inexpensive and it's flaming orange so it will be hard for me to lose.

I have my Grandpa's small & slim metal caliper from his engineering days - it's branded name cracks me up every time: "Executive Pocket Chum"

That is quite a nice gift!
