It's _great_ for storing beads on. Spangles might have holes too big (although I don't think so), and your pins are working, and the spangles don't roll....but the floss is really neat! It has a fuzzy section in the middle, and the two ends are stiff. You can thread beads on to it with the stiffer end, and they stop and sit on the fuzzy sections, and don't fall off, so then you can take them off one or more at a time, and, and then put the floss down without the rest of the beads wanting to fall off! You'd probably have to touch them too much, though. But you may find it useful for other things...
