Darice craft vacuum

I have a Dirt Devil electronics type vacuum. It plugs into a USB slot to
charge around the computer area. I got it with Coke Points of all
things, lol! I never thought to use it for bead spills though, but it's
a perfect idea. Usually I do the pantyhose over the end of the extension
thing. Anyways, this thing is great to have at the desk, especially if
you eat there (which I do) to pick up crumbs and dust and such. It's not
terribly powerful; it's charged by a USB, but I think it could tackle
beads.

Thanks for the idea.

Hi gang,
I just had to boast about something I picked up at Michaels the other
day...a craft vacuum. It's a battery powered, handheld mini vacuum
meant for glitter, beads and other fiddly things that get spilled on
the carpet!
So far it seems to work pretty well...it sucks up seeds beads easily
but seems to have trouble with Swarovski crystal. I could have really
used this a while back when I spilled some red beads on my
desk...ended up throwing out a fair bit too because of all the other
debris that came with it when I tried to scoop them up. The vacuum
seperates out the dust.
Best,
Christine
