Abstract: A bead roller is provided for manually crafting a bead from a strip of material. The bead roller may include a handle guide carrier, a first handle portion mounted for rotational movement on the handle guide carrier; a second handle portion mounted for rotational and longitudinal movement on the handle guide carrier; and a tool arm axially extending from the second handle portion and having first and second spaced apart opposing edges which define a slot which receives and engages a distal end of the strip of material. The second handle portion is configured for rotation simultaneously with the tool arm about the handle guide carrier and independently of the first handle portion.

Abstract: A bead roller is provided for manually crafting a bead from a strip of material. The bead roller may include at least one of a handle having a gripping surface adapted to be engaged by a hand of a user of the bead roller; and a tool arm extending from the handle and having an elongated body with a concave cross-section, and first and second parallel extending edges extending spaced apart along the longitudinal axis of the elongated body to define a slot, each edge having a surface adapted to engage a distal end of the strip of material when the material strip is received in the slot.
