[Nfb-krafters-korner] Speaking of Christmas crafts

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Joyce;
You do not use beads, you use large, colord headed pins.  They are rounded just like a dot.  No need for a bead.

Making Braille with beads on the styrophoam, I would not use the pins with the big heads.  You would want the color beads to be your round dots for the Braille and have control of the color of beads.
