Questions & AnswersHi I'm Jason on behalf of expertvillage.com and we're making a bead necklace out of recyclable material. We've now got our two beads and they're a little bit rough on the sides. On the edges here you can see the plastic on both sides is kind of hanging out. And we've also got, on the charm we've got some rough metal edges so with the dremel tool we're just going to smooth, we'll do the beads first and then we'll do the charm. But before we do that we'll select, I'll show you how to select the right tool and how to change them out. You just want to know what you'll be using with the dremel. We've got four sides here and we can use the same tool for both and our bead also. They're different sizes so I'm just going to trim this up with the scissors. So now both beads are the same size and it will look a lot better.
