Just pour your beads on and never worry about spilling again. Since they're stuck' on there... you simply pick up each bead with your needle as you need it. A good place to pour and work with your beads. Perfect for travel or at home.

4 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 04/04/2026 - Very helpful
This is a great addition to my stitching tools. I will say that if it collects pet hair--which it does very easily--or it gets dirty, there doesn't seem to be any way to clean it. I tried water, as the site suggested, and also pressing sticking tape against it, both with no luck. I finally bought a second one and will try hard not to get it dirty.

4 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 04/04/2026 - Tacky Bill is really sticky
I found this beading helper to be more sticky than I thought it would be. I had to pull off each bead before I could use it and I felt that it slowed me down.

Great product! Made it much easier to stitch with beads. Highly recommend.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 02/07/2026 - No more spills
This is a great little product. I never knew about it and have spilled many, many beads before. It immediately attracted some cat fur but I asked, and was told I can wash it with warm water. Haven't tried it yet because I have a lot of beads on it right now. But I definitely recommend.

What I like about the Tacki bill bead tray is its size and that it closes when not in use. Beads can be placed in the tray and on the inside of the lid. Beads will not roll off and colors will not mix. Would buy agaim

I love this! A friend of mine let me use hers & it was great! Having all my beads stay in one place is wonderful, especially after dropping them all on the floor.

Ruined some beads because it was too sticky not tacky

Where have I been that I just now discovered the Tacky Bill Beading Trays? An absolute necessity for beading projects. I am currently working on several of the Mill Hill Beading Kits and absolutely love these trays.

I used to use a small Corning ware bowl for beading. It seemed perfect. But now this! Omg, it’s terrific! Recommend highly.

My Tacky Bill Beading Tray makes it so much easier to do Beading on my needlepoint and cross stitching.

I love the tacky bill. I never have to worry about spilling beads anymore.

I had used Tacky Bob in the past, then they were no longer made. I stumbled upon Tacky Bill... ordered 2. Tacky Bill is way better, and now I don't chase my beads around!

4 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 06/23/2022 - Tacky Bill
I love this item for beading because it is like a box and so the beads can't fall off. The only thing is you have to be careful because it is plastic and you don't want the closure to break.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 06/15/2022

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 04/29/2022 - Great tool for beading.
I ordered this Tacky Board to help with Mill Hill headed kits. It works GREAT! But, Beware to only pour a few beads at a time or it will take a few minutes to pick the remaining ones off to place in your holding container. Only con is that is also collects any pet hair from stitching buddies🙀😺❤.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 03/29/2022 - Wonderful stitching accessory!
The tacky surface inside the case was perfect when I needed to add lots of beads to a project. The beads stayed put - no rolling around - and were easy to get on the needle. I absolutely love this accessory - it's a necessity!

3 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 02/20/2020 - Cheap Plastic
Works ok but is cheaply made (just like old CD cases) I'm not thinking this will last very long. Also sticky areas gather lots of fuzz and other junk. Sorry don't think its worth the price.

4 stars out of 5 from Tiny  flag on 12/15/2019 - Love these
Useful for beading, would give 5 starts but the plastic cracks easily and one arrived broken

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 11/14/2019 - Great Beading Tool
I used this for the first time last night and find it very useful. The beads stayed in place on the tacky surface yet it was easy to pick them up with the needle. Both sides of the box are sticky and the magnet for the needle is a great addition..

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 10/30/2019 - Tacky bob
Love item works perfectly for all my beaded stitching no spilled beads!

I love my Tacky Bob case. It is so nice and easy to use

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 03/12/2019 - Awesome
Never heard of these before, brilliant! So glad I ordered one and the cover they sent was perfect, butterflies.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 03/09/2019 - The best for beads!
I love these bead holders! Because they close up, I feel like the beads are safe around other items in a bag. The stickiness of it really holds the beads well but they are easy to pick up with the needle. I just wish they were sold in sets of 10, about half this size, with a place to label what project they are associated with. But I can make labels for them myself. They made my cross stitch projects that had bead work in them more travel-friendly. They are THE BEST for keeping mini beads!!

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 02/08/2019 - Fantastic Item!
I ordered this to replace my old beat up one, that I got at a brick and morter store near buy. This is of fantastic quality and the designs are fantastic! I don't know if it was a lucky coincidence or fantastic customer service but I asked to have my tackybob in any color but pink. They did it! I got a lovely brown/tan one with cute little birdies on it. I am in love. I highly recommend these boxes and 123stitch's customer service is fantastic!!!

4 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 10/05/2018 - Great tool
I found this to be extremely helpful and easy to use. My only complaint was the needle minder. I put 4 needles on it and closed the box. I didn't notice that the minder was then on the outside and ended up losing 2 of the needles. I think a note on the box stating not to use the minder when the box was closed would be very helpful. Otherwise, the Tacky Bob was great. I would buy it again. The box came with a crack across the top, probably caused by the shipping process. It doesn't effect using the box at all.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 09/08/2018 - Works Perfectly!
I just finished my first cross stitch project using beads. I separated the beads by color and placed them in the Tacky Bob Adhesive Bead Box. They held well, never rolled around, and released easily when I inserted the needle through the bead hole. I love the Tacky Bob Bead Box!

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 05/08/2018 - you need a Tacky Bob!
These little fellows are awesome for projects with beading, especially if you have cats, like I do, that unpredictably leap on the lap and scatter beads everywhere!

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 03/23/2018
A must for all bead work. Those beads stay in one place until picked up. However, it also picks up small pieces of paper and dust.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 03/11/2018 - Great !
Wish i had of know about Tacky Bob when i first started stitching with beads! I can put the beads on a lot faster with the Tacky Bob, i love it !

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 11/14/2017 - Tacky Bob - Must have
If you do any beading, you need a Tacky Bob. This is the greatest thing and allows you to put beads of several colors on the surface and then they stay in place and you just get the bead on your needle and attach. Have had many friends see mine and order themselves one as it is such a great tool to use. Beads stay in place when they is put away with your stitching and just waiting for you to use the next time. Great product

I heard about this product in a needlework group. Thought I would try it to help avoid spilled beads. It works wonders!

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 01/26/2017 - Can't Live Without Tacky Bob!
My go to as a beadwork container. You can turn Tacky Bob upside down, and the beads don't fall off. Despite that fact, it is easy to pick individual beads off of the sticky surface to stitch with. It's the perfect amount of "stickiness". Love this product.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 01/25/2017 - Tacky Bob
This is perfect for beading. I don't find the beads getting sticky,from using this. It is sure nice to not have beads everywhere! I will get another one, when / if I need one..It would make a great gift for a beader or stitcher,

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 11/23/2016 - Works great!
I use this for mill hill beaded cross stitch and it works for both size beads. I don't think they are hard to get off the tacky part as some reviewers say. No sticky residue seems to be on my beads. I separate the colors before placing them on here but you probably don't have to. You can pick up color you need. The beads stick well too--you can turn upside down and they don't fall off. And you can close it up with beads in it. I like it. Just like a CD case be sure you don't bend it too far the wrong way and break it.

Before I found the Tacky Bob, I had a mess. Beads all over the place. When I was done beading for the day or night, I'd have to pick up the beads until the next time. Love that I can close the box, put it away and everything is right where I left it. Only complaint I have is I wish we could pick the design. I love that cat design that is shown in the picture.

My box arrived broken and 123stitch replaced it quickly but the second one also arrived broken. It may work well for beads but the "arms" of the cover break easily.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 10/06/2015 - Tacky bob wonderful!
First time I have beaded and this was a great tool! Going to order another one.

4 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 07/13/2015 - A little "tacky".
This product really works. I'm notorious for spilling beads. Not with this product. My only negative is that the beads I don't use are sometimes sticky and difficult to get back in the container. cjh

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 04/28/2015 - Best invention for beadwork ever.
This product makes keeping beads in one area a breeze. It makes it so easy to see the bead colors and pick them up with the needle. Having two different colored tacky surfaces is brilliant.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 04/15/2015 - A must for beading!
This product has been so wonderful to use when beading that I don't mind beading as much as I use to! Keeps beads in place and leaves beads clean with no stickiness to them!

2 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 02/10/2015 - Problems with tacky bob advesive box
There was a little glue transferred to some of the beads. Also the needle magnet is fine while you are working, but when you close the box the magnet is on the outside. I didn't realize this from the picture. I wouldn't buy again.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 09/20/2014 - Best product ever
If you are doing any kind of beading this is a must have.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 10/20/2013 - Fantastic
I've often shied away from cross stitch beading projects because handling the tiny beads is hard. This sticky box is wonderful! It allows me to put various sizes and colors of beads on each sticky pad, making it easy to stitch while sitting in my favorite chair and watching TV.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 10/11/2013 - Tacky Bob
This product is GREAT for heavily beaded projects like the ones from Miribilia! Beats the heck out of beads in a cereal bowl!

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 10/05/2013 - Love Tacky Bob
I just love Tacky Bob. Tacky Bob is one of those tools you find so handy, it's always in your stitching bag. I do nothing but Mirabilias, so my Tacky Bob is essential because the cat was always "investigating" my bowls of beads. Now, even if Bob falls down, I don't lose any beads. A great product!

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 09/17/2013 - Lovely Product
I love Tacky Bob. With a cat in the house, it's far too easy to have bowls or boxes of beads go flying, but Tacky Bob keeps all the beads where I can get to them and use them. I've tried other methods of holding beads and the only one that works for me is Bob. If Kitty jumps up, Bob stays put and the worst that happens is Kitty leaves fur.
