The designer was inspired to create this beer-themed bottle opener when she was preparing to head to the Milwaukee stop on our BeadTour.

1 #55-906 4.75"Beadable bottle opener, silver plate
5 #21-001-004-01 6mm round large-hole gemstones, black onyx
1 #44-920-B 5.5mm cube alphabet beads with large hole, antiqued pewter
2 #44-920-E 5.5mm cube alphabet beads with large hole, antiqued pewter
1 #44-920-R .5mm cube alphabet beads with large hole, antiqued pewter

Simply unscrew the top, add the desired large-hole beads of your choice and screw the top back on!

TIP: Personalize with lampwork glass beads formed on a 3/32" mandrel, or any beads with 2.5-2.7mm holes.

TIP: Due to varied bead-hole sizes (particularly with gemstone beads) it may be necessary to ream some of the beads. Use the battery-operated bead reamer (#69-058 ) to enlarge the bead holes.
