1. Manually Gather Them Back

It’s the easiest and quickest way but it can only use when you’re working on the table. That’s when you’re diamond painting your canvas and your careless elbow unintentionally touch the edge of your diamond tray, and… “Uh-Oh”. Just use a Fixed Tool or any flat-surface stuff in your reach, put your tray below the table edge and simply sweep the spilled beads to the tray.

2. Use A Vacuum

You can only manually gather your spilled beads back when they’re on a table, then what to do if they spill on the floor? The most recommended in this case is to use a handle vacuum with the low setting. If you don’t want your beads to lose the sparkle and reuse them, remember to take a cut off your nylon stocking, put it on the vacuum hose with a little inside of the hose. Hold on tight to nylon and suck up all the spilled beads. Pull out nylon and empty in the container to sort the beads out and maybe a little dirt.

3. Use A Bead Spill Saver
