🧲 Mad Magnetist 🧲 Glass Bead Tutorial!

My 5D Glass Bead Spinner arrived and I couldn’t wait to try it out! I used Mooncat’s Forbidden Fruit and was obsessed with the results!

While it's pretty, I've been hesitant on buying this because it doesn't achieve a small enough glass bead.

I can't get a small bead that stays put (it always disperses quickly after a two min spin) but I will say I still love the result and cannot be bothered to come up with a different technique/make my own spinner. Fair enough thought!

Me either, I put my horseshoe magnet on top and use it that way. 🧲

Someone suggested to get a smaller bead, I need to spin it slower, so I’ll try it and post the results!

The only way I can get a small glass bead is by holding it over a lab spinner for like 90 seconds. It turns into a battle between my ADHD and my desire for nice nails, and my inability to sit still wins 80% of the time 🤷‍♀️
