The ultimate beading board for bracelet and anklet makers! No more guessing; the wells in the board provide design space and a place to measure for braclets and anklets 5.5-9 inches. (Nine inches is generally regarded as the basic measurement for ankle bracelets). There is also a straight channel along each side of the board, and the ones on the top and bottom sides have ruler measurements. The flocked surface stops the beads from rolling and the little wells inside the bracelet form are a great place to put beads while you're working on your bracelets. The board is 10.75 inches by 13.75 inches. AND: there is a clear plastic cover that sits down over the top securely if you're traveling or want to put your project away for a bit. I have one and love it...you will, too!
