Are there hollow mandrels smaller than 1/4"?

[BonfireBeads]

I am wanting hollow mandrels that aren't as big as the 1/4" ones I have here at home. Does anyone sell them or know where I can get some?

If all else fails, you can make them as small as you want from McMaster-Carr, but I'm pretty sure someone out there sells them pre-made.

Hmm.. a student of mine uses some tiny ones, like 1/8", but I don't know where she got them! She blows beads about the diameter of a dime. I'll ask next time I see her.

Thanks Jeff...I hope you are right. Seems like someone must carry them!

Maybe the Puffy Mandrels would work for you. They come 1/8" and 3/32"
